1 Samuel 24:4-7

4And the men of David said to him, Behold the day of which the LORD said to thee, Behold, I will deliver thy enemy into thy hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good to thee. Then David arose, and secretly cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe.1

5And it came to pass afterward, that David’s heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul’s skirt.

6And he said to his men, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the LORD’S anointed, to stretch forth my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD.

7So David restrained his servants with these words, and permitted them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose out of the cave, and went on his way.2
