1 Samuel 24:4-7 (24:5) And the men of David said unto him: 'Behold the day in which the LORD hath said unto thee: Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thy hand, and thou shalt do to him as it shall seem good unto thee.' Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily.

Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily. ⁵ (24:6) And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt. ⁶ (24:7) And he said unto his men: 'The LORD forbid it me, that I should do this thing unto my lord, the LORD'S anointed, to put forth my hand against him, seeing he is the LORD'S anointed.' ⁷ (24:8) So David checked his men with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. And Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.
