1 Samuel 24:11-13

Revised Geneva Translation

¹¹ “Behold, your eyes have just seen that the LORD had delivered you this day into my hand in the cave. And some asked me to kill you. But I had compassion on you, and said, ‘I will not lay my hand on my master. For he is the LORD’s anointed.’

¹² “Moreover, my father, behold. Behold, I say, the lap of your garment in my hand! For when I cut off the lap of your garment, I did not kill you. Understand and see that there is neither evil nor wickedness in me. Nor have I sinned against you. Yet you hunt after my soul to take it.

¹³ “The LORD be judge between you and me. And the LORD avenge me of you. But let not my hand be upon you.
