1 Samuel 24:17-22

Leeser(i) 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. 18 And thou hast proved this day, that thou hast dealt well with me; forasmuch as when the Lord had surrendered me into thy hand, thou didst not kill me. 19 For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go away on a good road? so may the Lord reward thee with good for what thou hast done unto me this day. 20 And now, behold, I know that thou wilt surely become king, and that the kingdom of Israel will stand firmly in thy hand. 21 And now swear unto me by the Lord, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my father’s house. 22 And David swore unto Saul; and Saul went to his house; but David and his men went up into the strong-hold.
