1 Samuel 24:10-12
New American Standard Bible
10 (A)Behold, this day your eyes have seen that the Lord had handed you over to me today in the cave, and (B)someone said to kill you, but [a]I spared you; and I said, ‘I will not reach out with my hand against my lord, because he is the Lord’s anointed.’ 11 So, (C)my father, look! Indeed, look at the edge of your robe in my hand! For by the fact that I cut off the edge of your robe but did not kill you, know and understand that there is no evil or [b]rebellion in my hands, and I have not sinned against you, though you (D)are lying in wait for my life, to take it. 12 (E)May the Lord judge between [c]you and me, and may the Lord take vengeance on you for me; but my hand shall not be against you.

1 Samuel 24:10-12
New International Version
10 This day you have seen with your own eyes how the Lord delivered you into my hands in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I spared(A) you; I said, ‘I will not lay my hand on my lord, because he is the Lord’s anointed.’ 11 See, my father, look at this piece of your robe in my hand! I cut(B) off the corner of your robe but did not kill you. See that there is nothing in my hand to indicate that I am guilty(C) of wrongdoing(D) or rebellion. I have not wronged(E) you, but you are hunting(F) me down to take my life.(G) 12 May the Lord judge(H) between you and me. And may the Lord avenge(I) the wrongs you have done to me, but my hand will not touch you.
