1 Samuel 24:17-22

Thomson(i) 17 Then Saul said to David, Thou art more righteous than I; for thou hast returned me good; but I have returned thee evil. 18 Thou hast indeed proved to me this day the good thou hast done me; as the Lord delivered me this day into thy hands, and thou hast not slain me. 19 Now, because if any man find his enemy in distress, and send him away well, the Lord will reward him with good, 20 therefore now behold I know that thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in thy hand. 21 Now therefore swear to me by the Lord, that thou wilt not destroy my seed after me; nor blot out my name from the house of my father. 22 So David sword to Saul, and Saul departed to his place, and David and his men went up to the straits of Messara.
