1 Samuel 24:11-15
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 1 evil or rebellion. Even though I have not sinned against you, you are waiting in ambush to take my life.
24:12 May the Lord judge between the two of us, and may the Lord vindicate me over you, but my hand will not be against you.
24:13 It’s like the old proverb says: ‘From evil people evil proceeds.’ But my hand will not be against you.
24:14 Who has the king of Israel come out after? Who is it that you are pursuing? A dead dog? A single flea?
24:15 May the Lord be our judge and arbiter. May he see and arbitrate my case and deliver me from your hands!”
1 tn Heb “there is not in my hand.”
