1 Samuel 24:8-10

Contemporary English Version

⁸ Soon, David also got up and left the cave. “Your Majesty!” he shouted from a distance.

Saul turned around to look. David bowed down very low ⁹ and said:

Your Majesty, why do you listen to people who say that I'm trying to harm you? ¹⁰ You can see for yourself that the Lord gave me the chance to catch you in the cave today. Some of my men wanted to kill you, but I wouldn't let them do it. I told them, “I will not harm the Lord's chosen king!”
