RF SA1 24:1 (B.C. 1056.) David could have slain Saul, but spares him.
Again when Saul returned from after the Philishtim, he was informed that David was in the desert of Engedi.
RF SA1 24:2 So Saul took three thousand men, the choice of all Israel, and marched to seek David and his men in the high peaks of Jalim.
RF SA1 24:3 When he came to the sheepfolds by the road, where there is a cave, Saul went in to rest his feet. But David and his men were in the backward reaches of the caves.
RF SA1 24:4 Then David's men said to him, "Now is the time that the EVER-LIVING said to you, 'I will put your enemy into your power, and you can do to him whatever is good in your eyes!'" So David arose and took away the embroidered quilt with which Saul was covered.
RF SA1 24:5 But afterwards David's heart reproved him for taking away the quilt which was on Saul,
RF SA1 24:6 and he said to his men, "Trouble will come to me from the EVER-LIVING if I do such a thing to my Prince,—to the LORD'S anointed, as to lay my hand upon him. For he has been consecrated to the EVER-LIVING."
RF SA1 24:7 David consequently restrained his men from action, and would not allow them to attack Saul. So Saul left the cave and proceeded on his way.
RF SA1 24:8 Then David got up and went out of the cave, and called after Saul, and said, "My Lord, Commander!" When Saul looked behind him, David bent his face earthward and bowed to him.
RF SA1 24:9 David then said to Saul:—"Why do you listen to the tales of the man who says, 'David seeks to do you injury'?
RF SA1 24:10 Look! This very day your eyes can see that the EVER-LIVING gave you into my power in the cave, and they wished to murder you. But I pitied you, and said: 'I will not lift my hand against my Prince, for he has been consecrated to the EVER-LIVING.'
RF SA1 24:11 And now, father, see, look, here is the embroidered quilt that covered you in my hand! I took the quilt away from you, but did not murder you! Know and be convinced therefore that there is no wrong in my hand, or rebellion, or sin against you; yet you hunt for my life to take it.
RF SA1 24:12 Let the EVER-LIVING decide between me and you, when the EVER-LIVING will acquit me, rather than you; for my hand has not been against you.
RF SA1 24:13 As the verse of the Kadmonite says,—
'From the wicked, wickedness springs,
But my hand shall not be against you.'
RF SA1 24:14 After what does the Commander of Israel come out? After what do you chase? After a dead dog! After a single flea!
RF SA1 24:15 But let the EVER-LIVING be judge and decide between me and you, and examine my cause, and acquit me from you."
RF SA1 24:16 And when David had finished uttering this address to Saul, Saul asked, "Is that your voice, my son David?" Then Saul lifted up his voice and wept,
RF SA1 24:17 and said to David "You are more righteous than I; for you have repaid me with benefit, but I have repaid you with violence!
RF SA1 24:18 And, further, you have shown it to-day by having acted kindly to me, for when the EVER-LIVING had delivered me to your power, you did not kill me!
RF SA1 24:19 For when did a man find his enemy and helped him kindly on his way? The EVER-LIVING, however, will repay you generously in return for what you have done to me.
RF SA1 24:20 And indeed I know that you will lead, and that the Leadership of Israel will be fixed in your hand;
RF SA1 24:21 therefore swear to me by the EVER-LIVING not to destroy my descendants after me, nor to blot out my name from my father's house."
RF SA1 24:22 So David swore to Saul. And Saul went to his home, and David and his men went up to the fort.
