    9David said to Saul,“Why do you pay attention when men say,‘David is seeking to do you harm’?

    10Today your own eyes see how the LORD delivered you– this very day– into my hands in the cave. Some told me to kill you, but I had pity on you and said,‘I will not extend my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD’s chosen one.’

    11Look, my father, and see the edge of your robe in my hand! When I cut off the edge of your robe, I didn’t kill you. So realize and understand that I am not planning evil or rebellion. Even though I have not sinned against you, you are waiting in ambush to take my life.

    12May the LORD judge between the two of us, and may the LORD vindicate me over you, but my hand will not be against you.

    13It’s like the old proverb says:‘From evil people evil proceeds.’ But my hand will not be against you.

    14Who has the king of Israel come out after? Who is it that you are pursuing? A dead dog? A single flea?

    18You have explained today how you have treated me well. The LORD delivered me into your hand, but you did not kill me.

    19Now if a man finds his enemy, does he send him on his way in good shape? May the LORD repay you with good this day for what you have done to me.

    17When Saul recognized David’s voice, he said,“Is that your voice, my son David?” David replied,“Yes, it’s my voice, my lord the king.”

    18He went on to say,“Why is my lord chasing his servant? What have I done? What wrong have I done?

    19So let my lord the king now listen to the words of his servant. If the LORD has incited you against me, may he take delight in an offering. But if men have instigated this, may they be cursed before the LORD! For they have driven me away this day from being united with the LORD’s inheritance, saying,‘Go on, serve other gods!’

    20Now don’t let my blood fall to the ground away from the LORD’s presence, for the king of Israel has gone out to look for a flea the way one looks for a partridge in the hill country.”
