1 Samuel 24:6-8

Revised Geneva Translation

⁶ And afterward, David was touched in his heart, because he had cut off the lap which was on Saul’s garment.

⁷ And he said to his men, “The LORD keep me from doing that thing to my master, the LORD’s anointed, to lay my hand upon him. For he is the anointed of the LORD.”

⁸ So David overcame his servants with these words and did not allow them to rise up against Saul. For Saul got up from the cave and went away.
