1 Samuel 26:21-25

21Then SaulH7586 saidH559, “1I have sinnedH2398. ReturnH7725, my sonH1121 DavidH1732, for I will not harmH7489 you againH5750 sinceH8478H834 my lifeH5315 wasH3365 preciousH3365 in your sightH5869 thisH2088 dayH3117. BeholdH2009, I have playedH5528 theH5528 foolH5528 and have madeH7686 aH7686 veryH3966 greatH7235 mistakeH7686.”

22DavidH1732 repliedH6030, “BeholdH2009, the spearH2595 of the kingH4428! Now have oneH259 of the youngH5288 menH5288 comeH5674 overH5674 and takeH3947 it.

23And 2the LordH3068 will repayH7725 eachH376 manH376 for his righteousnessH6666 and his faithfulnessH530; for the LordH3068 handedH3027H5414 you overH5414 to me todayH3117, but 3I refusedH3808H14 to reachH7971 outH7971 with my handH3027 against the Lord’sH3068 anointedH4899.

24Therefore beholdH2009, justH3512 asH3512 your lifeH5315 was 4highlyH1431 valuedH1431 in my sightH5869 thisH2088 dayH3117, soH3651 may my lifeH5315 be highlyH1431 valuedH1431 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, and may He 5rescueH5337 me from allH3605 distressH6869.”

25Then SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “6BlessedH1288 are you, my sonH1121 DavidH1732; you will bothH1571 accomplishH6213 muchH6213 and assuredlyH3201 prevailH3201.” So 7DavidH1732 wentH1980 on his wayH1870, and SaulH7586 returnedH7725 to his placeH4725.
