1 Samuel 24:10-12
English Standard Version
10 Behold, this day your eyes have seen how the Lord gave you today into my hand in the cave. (A)And some told me to kill you, but I spared you.[a] I said, ‘I will not put out my hand against my lord, (B)for he is the Lord's anointed.’ 11 See, my father, see the corner of your robe in my hand. For by the fact that I cut off the corner of your robe and did not kill you, you may know and see that (C)there is no wrong or treason in my hands. I have not sinned against you, though (D)you hunt my life to take it. 12 (E)May the Lord judge between me and you, may the Lord avenge me against you, but my hand shall not be against you.
