1 Samuel 24:8-10

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁸ After that, David got up, went out of the cave, and called to Saul, “My lord the king!” When Saul looked behind him, David bowed to the ground in homage.^{(A) 9} David said to Saul, “Why do you listen to the words of people who say, ‘Look, David intends to harm you’? ¹⁰ You can see with your own eyes that the Lord handed you over to me today in the cave.^(B) Someone advised me to kill you,^(C) but I^[a][b] took pity on you and said: I won’t lift my hand against my lord, since he is the Lord’s anointed.
