1 Samuel 24:4-6

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴ David’s men said to him, Behold the day of which the Lord said to you, Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hands and you shall do to him as seems good to you. Then David arose [in the darkness] and stealthily cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe.

⁵ Afterward, David’s heart smote him because he had cut off Saul’s skirt.

⁶ He said to his men, The Lord forbid that I should do this to my master, the Lord’s anointed, to put my hand out against him, when he is the anointed of the Lord.
