1 Samuel 26:22-24

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²² David replied, ‘Here is the spear, O king! Let one of the young men come over and get it. ²³ The Lord rewards everyone for his righteousness and his faithfulness; for the Lord gave you into my hand today, but I would not raise my hand against the Lord’s anointed. ²⁴ As your life was precious today in my sight, so may my life be precious in the sight of the Lord, and may he rescue me from all tribulation.’
