1 Samuel 24:9-11

Context
24:9 David said to Saul, “Why do you pay attention when men say, ‘David is seeking to do you harm’? 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 1  on you and said, ‘I will not extend my hand against my lord, for he is the Lord’s chosen one.’ 2  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 3  evil or rebellion. Even though I have not sinned against you, you are waiting in ambush to take my life.

1 tn Heb “it had pity,” apparently with the understood subject being “my eye,” in accordance with a common expression.

2 tn Heb “anointed.”

3 tn Heb “there is not in my hand.”
