1 Samuel 24:11-17 But, 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 yet did not slay thee, know thou, and see, that there is not in my hand either wrong or transgression, neither have I sinned against thee, yet art thou hunting my life, to take it.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ But, 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 yet did not slay thee, know thou, and see, that there is not in my hand either wrong or transgression, neither have I sinned against thee, yet art thou hunting my life, to take it. ¹² Let Yahweh do justice betwixt me and thee, and let Yahweh avenge me of thee,––but, mine own hand, shall not be upon thee. ¹³ As saith the proverb of the ancients, From the lawless, proceedeth lawlessness,––mine own hand, therefore shall not be upon thee. ¹⁴ After whom, hath the king of Israel come forth? After whom, art thou in pursuit? After a dead dog! after a single flea! ¹⁵ Therefore shall, Yahweh, become, judge, and do justice betwixt me and thee,––that he may see, and plead my cause, and justly deliver me out of thy hand.
¹⁶ And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, Thy voice, is this, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept. ¹⁷ And he said unto David, More righteous, art thou than I, for, thou, hast requited me, good, but, I, have requited thee, evil.
