16 And it comes to pass, when David completes to speak these words to Saul, that Saul says, “Is this your voice, my son David?” And Saul lifts up his voice, and weeps. 17 And he says to David, “You [are] more righteous than I; for you have done me good, and I have done you evil; 18 and you have declared today how that you have done good with me, how that YHWH shut me up into your hand, and you did not slay me, 19 and that a man finds his enemy, and has sent him away in a good manner; and YHWH repays you good for that which you did to me this day. 20 And now, behold, I have known that you certainly reign, and the kingdom of Israel has stood in your hand; 21 and now, swear to me by YHWH [that] you do not cut off my seed after me, nor do you destroy my name from the house of my father.” 22 And David swears to Saul, and Saul goes to his house, and David and his men have gone up to the fortress. 1 Samuel 24:16-22, Literal Standard Version.
