1 Samuel 24:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ Then David also went out of the cave and yelled after Saul, “My master the king!” Saul looked back, and David bowed low out of respect, nose to the ground.

⁹ David said to Saul, “Why do you listen when people say, ‘David wants to ruin you’? ¹⁰ Look! Today your own eyes have seen that the Lord handed you over to me in the cave. But I refused^[a] to kill you. I spared you, saying, ‘I won’t lift a hand against my master because he is the Lord’s anointed.’
