4 David's men told him, |Today is the day the LORD referred to when he said, 'I'm going to hand your enemy over to you. You will do to him whatever you think is right.' | David quietly got up and cut off the border of Saul's robe.

5 But afterward, David's conscience bothered him because he had cut off the border of Saul's robe.

6 He said to his men, |It would be unthinkable for me to raise my hand against His Majesty, the LORD's anointed king, since he is the LORD's anointed.|

7 So David stopped his men by saying this to them and didn't let them attack Saul. Saul left the cave and went out onto the road.
