1 Samuel 26:21-25
21Saul replied, “I have sinned. Come back, my son David. I won’t harm you, for you treated my life with value this day. I have behaved foolishly and have made a very terrible mistake!”
22David replied, “Here is the king’s spear! Let one of your servants cross over and get it.
23The Lord rewards each man for his integrity and loyalty. Even though today the Lord delivered you into my hand, I was not willing to extend my hand against the Lord’s chosen one.
24In the same way that I valued your life this day, may the Lord value my life and deliver me from all danger.”
25Saul replied to David, “May you be rewarded, my son David! You will without question be successful!” So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
