1 Samuel 24:4-6 ▼

4 David's men said to him, |This is the day about which the LORD said to you, 'I will give your enemy into your hand, and you can do to him whatever seems appropriate to you.'| So David got up and quietly cut off an edge of Saul's robe.

5 Afterward David's conscience bothered him because he had cut off an edge of Saul's robe.

6 He said to his men, |May the LORD keep me far away from doing such a thing to my lord, who is the LORD's chosen one, by extending my hand against him. After all, he is the LORD's chosen one.|
