1 Samuel 24:11-13 ▼

11 Look, my father! Look at the corner of your robe in my hand, for I cut it off, but I didn’t kill you. Recognize that I’ve committed no crime or rebellion. I haven’t sinned against you even though you are hunting me down to take my life.

12 “May the LORD judge between me and you, and may the LORD take vengeance on you for me, but my hand will never be against you.

13 As the old proverb says, ‘Wickedness comes from wicked people.’ My hand will never be against you.
