1 Samuel 24:13

9David said to Saul, “Why do you listen to men’s words, saying, ‘Behold, David seeks to harm you’?

10Behold, today your eyes have seen how the LORD had delivered you today into my hand in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I spared you. I said, ‘I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD’s anointed.’

11Moreover, my father, behold, yes, see the skirt of your robe in my hand; for in that I cut off the skirt of your robe and didn’t kill you, know and see that there is neither evil nor disobedience in my hand. I have not sinned against you, though you hunt for my life to take it.

12May the LORD judge between me and you, and may the LORD avenge me of you; but my hand will not be on you.

13As the proverb of the ancients says, ‘Out of the wicked comes wickedness;’ but my hand will not be on you.

14Against whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom do you pursue? A dead dog? A flea?

15May the LORD therefore be judge, and give sentence between me and you, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of your hand.”

16It came to pass, when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, “Is that your voice, my son David?” Saul lifted up his voice and wept.

17He said to David, “You are more righteous than I; for you have done good to me, whereas I have done evil to you.
