1 Samuel 24:4-7

4And the menH582 of DavidH1732 saidH559 to him, Behold the dayH3117 of which the LORDH3068 saidH559 to thee, Behold, I will deliverH5414 thy enemyH341 into thy handH3027, that thou mayest doH6213 to him as it shall seem goodH3190 to theeH5869. Then DavidH1732 aroseH6965, and secretlyH3909 cut offH3772 the skirtH3671 of Saul’sH7586 robeH4598.1

5And it came to pass afterwardH310, that David’sH1732 heartH3820 smoteH5221 him, because he had cut offH3772 Saul’sH7586 skirtH3671.

6And he saidH559 to his menH582, The LORDH3068 forbidH2486 that I should doH6213 this thingH1697 to my masterH113, the LORD’SH3068 anointedH4899, to stretch forthH7971 my handH3027 against him, seeing he is the anointedH4899 of the LORDH3068.

7So DavidH1732 restrainedH8156 his servantsH582 with these wordsH1697, and permittedH5414 them not to riseH6965 against SaulH7586. But SaulH7586 roseH6965 out of the caveH4631, and wentH3212 on his wayH1870.2
