1 Samuel 12:17
12:17 Is this not the time of the wheat harvest? I will call on the Lord so that he makes it thunder and rain. Realize and see what a great sin you have committed before the Lord by asking for a king for yourselves.”
1 Samuel 20:29
20:29 He said, ‘Permit me to go, 1 for we are having a family sacrifice in the city, and my brother urged 2 me to be there. So now, if I have found favor with you, let me go 3 to see my brothers.’ For that reason he has not come to the king’s table.”
1 Samuel 24:10-11
24:10 Today your own eyes see how the Lord delivered you – this very day – into my hands in the cave. Some told me to kill you, but I had pity 4 on you and said, ‘I will not extend my hand against my lord, for he is the Lord’s chosen one.’ 5
24:11 Look, my father, and see the edge of your robe in my hand! When I cut off the edge of your robe, I didn’t kill you. So realize and understand that I am not planning 6 evil or rebellion. Even though I have not sinned against you, you are waiting in ambush to take my life.
