1 Samuel 24:17-20 ▼

17 And he said to David, “You are more righteous than I; for you have dealt well with me, while I have dealt evil with you.

18 And you have declared today that you have done good to me, that Yahweh surrendered me into your hand, and yet you did not kill me.

19 For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away safely? May Yahweh therefore reward you with good in return for what you have done to me this day.

20 So now, behold, I know that you will surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hand.
