1 Samuel 24:4-7 So David’s men said to him, “This is the day about which the LORD said to you, ‘Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, that you may do with him as you wish.’” Then David crept up secretly and cut off a corner of Saul’s robe.

BSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ So David’s men said to him, “This is the day about which the LORD said to you, ‘Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, that you may do with him as you wish.’” Then David crept up secretly and cut off a corner of Saul’s robe. ⁵ Afterward, David’s conscience was stricken because he had cut off the corner of Saul’s robe. ⁶ So he said to his men, “The LORD forbid that I should do such a thing to my master, the LORD’s anointed. May I never lift my hand against him, since he is the LORD’s anointed.” ⁷ With these words David restrained his men, and he did not let them rise up against Saul. Then Saul left the cave and went on his way.
