1 Samuel 24:11-14

11Look, my father, at what I have in my hand. It is a piece of the hem of your robe! I cut it off, but I didn’t kill you. This proves that I am not trying to harm you and that I have not sinned against you, even though you have been hunting for me to kill me.

12“May the Lord judge between us. Perhaps the Lord will punish you for what you are trying to do to me, but I will never harm you.

13As that old proverb says, ‘From evil people come evil deeds.’ So you can be sure I will never harm you.

14Who is the king of Israel trying to catch anyway? Should he spend his time chasing one who is as worthless as a dead dog or a single flea?
