4 David’s servants said to him, “This is the day about which the LORD said to you: I will deliver your enemy into your hand; do with him as you see fit.” So David moved up and stealthily cut off an end of Saul’s robe. 5 Afterward, however, David regretted that he had cut off an end of Saul’s robe. 6 He said to his men, “The LORD forbid that I should do such a thing to my master, the LORD’s anointed, to lay a hand on him, for he is the LORD’s anointed.” 7 With these words David restrained his men and would not permit them to attack Saul. Saul then left the cave and went on his way. 1 Samuel 24:4-7, New American Bible Revised. Copyright © 2010 USCCB.
