1 Samuel 24:10-12

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁰ Today you saw how the Lord handed you over to me in the cave. Although I was told to kill you, I spared you, saying, ‘I will not raise my hand against Your Majesty because you are the Lord’s anointed.’ ¹¹ My master, look at this! The border of your robe is in my hand! Since I cut off the border of your robe and didn’t kill you, you should know and be able to see I mean no harm or rebellion. I haven’t sinned against you, but you are trying to ambush me in order to take my life. ¹² May the Lord decide between you and me. May the Lord take revenge on you for what you did to me. However, I will not lay a hand on you.
