1 Samuel 24:11-18

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 my handH3027, and I have not sinnedH2398 against thee; yet thou huntestH6658 my soulH5315 to takeH3947 it. 12The LORDH3068 judgeH8199 between me and thee, and the LORDH3068 avengeH5358 me of thee: but my handH3027 shall not be upon thee. 13As saithH559 the proverbH4912 of the ancientsH6931, WickednessH7562 proceedethH3318 from the wickedH7563: but my 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. 15The LORDH3068 therefore be judgeH1781, and judgeH8199 between me and thee, and seeH7200, and pleadH7378 my causeH7379, and deliverH8199 me out of thy handH3027.1

16And it came to pass, when DavidH1732 had finishedH3615 speakingH1696 these wordsH1697 to SaulH7586, that SaulH7586 saidH559, Is this thy voiceH6963, my sonH1121 DavidH1732? And SaulH7586 lifted upH5375 his voiceH6963, and weptH1058. 17And he saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou art more righteousH6662 than I: for thou hast rewardedH1580 me with goodH2896, though I have rewardedH1580 thee with evilH7451. 18And thou hast showedH5046 this dayH3117 how thou hast dealtH6213H2896 with me: forasmuch as when the LORDH3068 had deliveredH5462 me into thy handH3027, thou didst not killH2026 me.2
