1 Samuel 24:8-11
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.
And David said
to Saul, Wherefore hearest thou men's words, saying, Behold, David
seeketh thy hurt?
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.
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.
