1 Samuel 24:4-6

English Standard Version Anglicised

⁴ And the men of David said to him, ^(A)“Here is the day of which the Lord said to you, ‘Behold, I will give your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you.’” Then David arose and stealthily cut off a corner of Saul's robe. ⁵ And afterwards ^(B)David's heart struck him, because he had cut off a corner of Saul's robe. ⁶ He said to his men, ^(C)“The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, the Lord's anointed, to put out my hand against him, seeing he is ^(D)the Lord's anointed.”
