1 Samuel 24:4-6

Living Bible

⁴ “Now’s your time!” David’s men whispered to him. “Today is the day the Lord was talking about when he said, ‘I will certainly put Saul into your power, to do with as you wish’!” Then David crept forward and quietly slit off the bottom of Saul’s robe! ⁵ But then his conscience began bothering him.

⁶ “I shouldn’t have done it,” he said to his men. “It is a serious sin to attack God’s chosen king in any way.”
