    1It happened, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, "Behold, David is in the wilderness of En Gedi."

    2Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men on the rocks of the wild goats.

    3He came to the sheep pens by the way, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were abiding in the innermost parts of the cave.

    4The men of David said to him, "Behold, the day of which Yahweh said to you, 'Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you.'" Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe secretly.

    5It happened afterward, that David's heart struck him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.

    6He said to his men, "Yahweh forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, Yahweh's anointed, to put forth my hand against him, since he is Yahweh's anointed."

    7So David checked his men with these words, and didn't allow them to rise against Saul. Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.

    8David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, "My lord the king!" When Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth, and did obeisance.

    9David said to Saul, "Why do you listen to men's words, saying, 'Behold, David seeks your hurt?'

    10Behold, this day your eyes have seen how that Yahweh had delivered you today into my hand in the cave. Some urged me to kill you; but I spared you; and I said, I will not put forth my hand against my lord; for he is Yahweh's anointed.
