    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 listen you 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: and some bade me kill you; but [my eye] spared you; and I said, I will not put forth my hand against my lord; for he is Yahweh's anointed.

    11Moreover, my father, behold, yes, see the skirt of your robe in my hand; for in that I cut off the skirt of your robe, and didn't kill you, know you and see that there is neither evil nor disobedience in my hand, and I have not sinned against you, though you hunt after my life to take it.

    12Yahweh judge between me and you, and Yahweh avenge me of you; but my hand shall not be on you.

    13As says the proverb of the ancients, Out of the wicked comes forth wickedness; but my hand shall not be on you.

    16This thing isn't good that you have done. As Yahweh lives, you are worthy to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, Yahweh's anointed. Now see where the king's spear is, and the jar of water that was at his head.

    17Saul knew David's voice, and said, Is this your voice, my son David? David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king.

    18He said, Why does my lord pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in my hand?

    19Now therefore, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it be Yahweh that has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering: but if it be the children of men, cursed be they before Yahweh: for they have driven me out this day that I shouldn't cling to Yahweh's inheritance, saying, Go, serve other gods.

    20Now therefore, don't let my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of Yahweh: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one does hunt a partridge in the mountains.
