1 Samuel 24:11-17

Leeser(i) 11 And now, my father, see, yea, see the corner of thy robe in my hand; for in that I cut off the corner of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand, and that I have not sinned against thee: yet thou liest in wait for my soul to take it. 12 May the Lord judge between me and thee, and may the Lord avenge me on thee; but my hand shall not be against thee. 13 As saith the proverb of the ancients, From the wicked proceedeth wickedness; but my hand shall not be against thee. 14 After whom is the king of Israel gone out? after whom art thou pursuing? after a dead dog, after a single flea. 15 May the Lord therefore be judge, and decide between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and obtain me justice out of thy hand. 16 And it came to pass, When David had finished speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept. 17 And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I; for thou hast done for me only what is good, whereas I have rewarded thee only with what is evil.
