1 Samuel 24:10-12

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁰ Behold, your eyes have seen how the Lord gave you today into my hands in the cave. Some told me to kill you, but I spared you; I said, I will not put forth my hand against my lord, for he is the Lord’s anointed.

¹¹ See, my father, see the skirt of your robe in my hand! Since I cut off the skirt of your robe and did not kill you, you know and see that there is no evil or treason in my hands. I have not sinned against you, yet you hunt my life to take it.

¹² May the Lord judge between me and you, and may the Lord avenge me upon you, but my hand shall not be upon you.
