1 Samuel 24:8-16

8DavidH1732 also aroseH6965 afterward, and went outH3318 of the caveH4631, and criedH7121 afterH310 SaulH7586, sayingH559, My lordH113 the kingH4428. And when SaulH7586 lookedH5027 behindH310 him, DavidH1732 stoopedH6915 with his faceH639 to the earthH776, and bowedH7812 himself.

9And DavidH1732 saidH559 to SaulH7586, Wherefore hearestH8085 thou men’sH120 wordsH1697, sayingH559, Behold, DavidH1732 seekethH1245 thy hurtH7451? 10Behold, this dayH3117 thine eyesH5869 have seenH7200 how that YhwhH3068 had deliveredH5414 thee to dayH3117 into mine handH3027 in the caveH4631: and some badeH559 me killH2026 thee: but mine eye sparedH2347 thee; and I saidH559, I will not put forthH7971 mine handH3027 against my lordH113; for he is Yhwh'sH3068 anointedH4899. 11Moreover, my fatherH1, seeH7200, yea, seeH7200 the skirtH3671 of thy robeH4598 in my handH3027: for in that I cut offH3772 the skirtH3671 of thy robeH4598, and killedH2026 thee not, knowH3045 thou and seeH7200 that there is neither evilH7451 nor transgressionH6588 in mine handH3027, and I have not sinnedH2398 against thee; yet thou huntestH6658 my soulH5315 to takeH3947 it. 12YhwhH3068 judgeH8199 between me and thee, and YhwhH3068 avengeH5358 me of thee: but mine handH3027 shall not be upon thee. 13As saithH559 the proverbH4912 of the ancientsH6931, WickednessH7562 proceedethH3318 from the wickedH7563: but mine handH3027 shall not be upon thee. 14AfterH310 whom is the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 come outH3318? afterH310 whom dost thou pursueH7291? afterH310 a deadH4191 dogH3611, afterH310 aH259 fleaH6550. 15YhwhH3068 therefore be judgeH1781, and judgeH8199 between me and thee, and seeH7200, and pleadH7378 my causeH7379, and deliverH8199 me out of thine handH3027.1

16And it came to pass, when DavidH1732 had made an endH3615 of speakingH1696 these wordsH1697 unto SaulH7586, that SaulH7586 saidH559, Is this thy voiceH6963, my sonH1121 DavidH1732? And SaulH7586 lifted upH5375 his voiceH6963, and weptH1058.
