    9 David got up afterward, went out of the cave, and called after Saul, 'My lord the king!' When Saul looked behind him, David bowed down with his face to the ground and paid homage.

    16 What you have done is not good. As surely as the LORD lives, you deserve to die because you did not guard your lord, the LORD's anointed. Now, look around! Where are the king's spear and the jar of water that were near his head?"

    17 Saul recognized David’s voice and said, "Is that your voice, my son David?" David replied, "It is my voice, my lord the king."

    18 And he added, "Why is my lord pursuing his servant? What have I done, and what wrong is in my hand?

    19 Now, may my lord the king please hear the words of his servant. If the LORD has incited you against me, may He accept an offering. But if men have done it, may they be cursed before the LORD, because they have driven me out today to prevent me from having a share in the LORD's inheritance, saying, 'Go, serve other gods.'

    20 Now then, do not let my blood fall to the ground far from the presence of the LORD. For the king of Israel has come out to search for a single flea, as one hunts a partridge in the mountains.

    21 Then Saul said, "I have sinned. Return, my son David, for I will not harm you again, because my life was precious in your sight today. Look, I have acted foolishly and have made a great mistake."

    22 David answered and said, "Here is the king's spear. Let one of the young men come over and take it.

    23 The LORD repays everyone for their righteousness and faithfulness, for the LORD delivered you into my hand today, but I would not lay my hand on the LORD's anointed.

    18 He said to David, 'You are more righteous than I, for you have treated me well, but I have treated you badly.'
