1SA-24:1 And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from
following the
Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David [is] in
the
wilderness of Engedi.
1SA-24:2 Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all
Israel, and went
to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats.
1SA-24:3 And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where [was]
a cave; and
Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained
in the sides of
the cave.
1SA-24:4 And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of
which the LORD
said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine
hand, that thou
mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David
arose, and cut
off the skirt of Saul's robe privily.
1SA-24:5 And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart
smote him, because
he had cut off Saul's skirt.
1SA-24:6 And he said unto his men, The LORD forbid that I
should do this
thing unto my master, the LORD'S anointed, to stretch forth mine
hand against
him, seeing he [is] the anointed of the LORD.
1SA-24:7 So David stayed his servants with these words, and
suffered them not
to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went
on [his] way.
1SA-24:8 David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave,
and cried
after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked
behind him, David
stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself.
1SA-24:9 And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest thou men's
words, saying,
Behold, David seeketh thy hurt?
1SA-24:10 Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the
LORD had
delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave: and [some]
bade [me] kill
thee: but [mine eye] spared thee; and I said, I will not put
forth mine hand
against my lord; for he [is] the LORD'S anointed.
1SA-24:11 Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy
robe in my
hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed
thee not, know
thou and see that [there is] neither evil nor transgression in
mine hand, and
I have not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take
it.
1SA-24:12 The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD
avenge me of thee:
but mine hand shall not be upon thee.
1SA-24:13 As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness
proceedeth from
the wicked: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.
1SA-24:14 After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom
dost thou
pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.
1SA-24:15 The LORD therefore be judge, and judge between me and
thee, and
see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thine hand.
1SA-24:16 And it came to pass, when David had made an end of
speaking these
words unto Saul, that Saul said, [Is] this thy voice, my son
David? And Saul
lifted up his voice, and wept.
1SA-24:17 And he said to David, Thou [art] more righteous than
I: for thou
hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil.
1SA-24:18 And thou hast showed this day how that thou hast
dealt well with
