1 Samuel 24:1-8

And it came to pass, when Saul
<07586>
was returned
<07725> (8804)
from following
<0310>
the Philistines
<06430>_,
that it was told
<05046> (8686)
him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold, David
<01732>
[is] in the wilderness
<04057>
of Engedi
<05872>_.
{following: Heb. after}
Then Saul
<07586>
took
<03947> (8799)
three
<07969>
thousand
<0505>
chosen
<0977> (8803)
men
<0376>
out of all Israel
<03478>_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
to seek
<01245> (8763)
David
<01732>
and his men
<0582>
upon
<06440>
the rocks
<06697>
of the wild goats
<03277>_.
And he came
<0935> (8799)
to the sheepcotes
<01448> <06629>
by the way
<01870>_,
where [was] a cave
<04631>_;
and Saul
<07586>
went in
<0935> (8799)
to cover
<05526> (8687)
his feet
<07272>_:
and David
<01732>
and his men
<0582>
remained
<03427> (8802)
in the sides
<03411>
of the cave
<04631>_.
And the men
<0582>
of David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Behold the day
<03117>
of which the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto thee, Behold, I will deliver
<05414> (8802)
thine enemy
<0341> (8802)
into thine hand
<03027>_,
that thou mayest do
<06213> (8804)
to him as it shall seem good
<03190> (8799)
unto thee
<05869>_.
Then David
<01732>
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and cut off
<03772> (8799)
the skirt
<03671>
of Saul's
<07586>
robe
<04598>
privily
<03909>_.
{Saul's...: Heb. the robe which was Saul's}
And it came to pass afterward
<0310>_,
that David's
<01732>
heart
<03820>
smote
<05221> (8686)
him, because he had cut off
<03772> (8804)
Saul's
<07586>
skirt
<03671>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto his men
<0582>_,
The LORD
<03068>
forbid
<02486>
that I should do
<06213> (8799)
this thing
<01697>
unto my master
<0113>_,
the LORD'S
<03068>
anointed
<04899>_,
to stretch forth
<07971> (8800)
mine hand
<03027>
against him, seeing he [is] the anointed
<04899>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
So David
<01732>
stayed
<08156> (8762)
his servants
<0582>
with these words
<01697>_,
and suffered
<05414> (8804)
them not to rise
<06965> (8800)
against Saul
<07586>_.
But Saul
<07586>
rose up
<06965> (8804)
out of the cave
<04631>_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
on [his] way
<01870>_.
{stayed: Heb. cut off}
David
<01732>
also arose
<06965> (8799)
afterward, and went out
<03318> (8799)
of the cave
<04631>_,
and cried
<07121> (8799)
after
<0310>
Saul
<07586>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
My lord
<0113>
the king
<04428>_.
And when Saul
<07586>
looked
<05027> (8686)
behind
<0310>
him, David
<01732>
stooped
<06915> (8799)
with his face
<0639>
to the earth
<0776>_,
and bowed
<07812> (8691)
himself.
