1 Samuel 24:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ He came to the sheepfolds on the way, where there was a cave, and Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were sitting in the cave’s innermost recesses.

⁴ David’s men said to him, Behold the day of which the Lord said to you, Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hands and you shall do to him as seems good to you. Then David arose [in the darkness] and stealthily cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe.

⁵ Afterward, David’s heart smote him because he had cut off Saul’s skirt.
