Revised Literal Translation
1 Samuel 24:5-8
5And it came to pass afterward, that David’s heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul’s skirt.
6And he said unto his men, Yhwh forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, Yhwh's anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of Yhwh.
7So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.1
8David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself.
