1 Samuel 24:12-14

Revised Geneva Translation

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.

¹⁴ “Just as the old proverb says, ‘Wickedness proceeds from the wicked, but my hand be not upon you.’
