1 Samuel 24:2-5
2Then SaulH7586 tookH3947 threeH7969 thousandH505 chosenH977 menH376 out of all IsraelH3478, and wentH3212 to seekH1245 DavidH1732 and his menH582 uponH6440 the rocksH6697 of the wild goatsH3277.
3And he cameH935 to the sheepcotesH6629H1448 by the wayH1870, where was a caveH4631; and SaulH7586 went inH935 to coverH5526 his feetH7272: and DavidH1732 and his menH582 remainedH3427 in the sidesH3411 of the caveH4631.
4And the menH582 of DavidH1732 saidH559 unto him, Behold the dayH3117 of which YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto thee, Behold, I will deliverH5414 thine enemyH341 into thine handH3027, that thou mayest doH6213 to him as it shall seem goodH3190 unto theeH5869. Then DavidH1732 aroseH6965, and cut offH3772 the skirtH3671 of Saul’sH7586 robeH4598 privilyH3909.1
5And it came to pass afterwardH310, that David’sH1732 heartH3820 smoteH5221 him, because he had cut offH3772 Saul’sH7586 skirtH3671.
