1 Samuel 24:10-15 Lo! this day, have thine own eyes seen, how Yahweh had delivered thee up, today, into my hand in the cave, and, when one bade me slay thee, I looked with compassion upon thee,––and I said––I will not thrust forth my hand against my lord, for, the Anointed of Yahweh, is he!

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ Lo! this day, have thine own eyes seen, how Yahweh had delivered thee up, today, into my hand in the cave, and, when one bade me slay thee, I looked with compassion upon thee,––and I said––I will not thrust forth my hand against my lord, for, the Anointed of Yahweh, is he! ¹¹ But, my father, see, yea, see, the corner of thy robe in my hand,––for, in that I cut off the corner of thy robe, and yet did not slay thee, know thou, and see, that there is not in my hand either wrong or transgression, neither have I sinned against thee, yet art thou hunting my life, to take it. ¹² Let Yahweh do justice betwixt me and thee, and let Yahweh avenge me of thee,––but, mine own hand, shall not be upon thee. ¹³ As saith the proverb of the ancients, From the lawless, proceedeth lawlessness,––mine own hand, therefore shall not be upon thee. ¹⁴ After whom, hath the king of Israel come forth? After whom, art thou in pursuit? After a dead dog! after a single flea! ¹⁵ Therefore shall, Yahweh, become, judge, and do justice betwixt me and thee,––that he may see, and plead my cause, and justly deliver me out of thy hand.
