1 Samuel 24:10-15

Brenton(i) 10 (24:11) Behold, thine eyes have seen this day how that the Lord has delivered thee this day into my hands in the cave; and I would not slay thee, but spared thee, and said, I will not lift up my hand against my lord, for he is the Lord's anointed. 11 (24:12) And behold, the skirt of thy mantle is in my hand, I cut off the skirt, and did not slay thee: know then and see to-day, there is no evil in my hand, nor impiety, nor rebellion; and I have not sinned against thee, yet thou layest snares for my soul to take it. 12 (24:13) The Lord judge between me and thee, and the Lord requite thee on thyself: but my hand shall not be upon thee. 13 (24:14) As the old proverb says, Transgression will proceed from the wicked ones: but my hand shall not be upon thee. 14 (24:15) And now after whom dost thou come forth, O king of Israel? After whom dost thou pursue? After a dead dog, and after a flea? 15 (24:16) The Lord be judge and umpire between me and thee, the Lord look upon and judge my cause, and rescue me out of thy hand.
