1 Samuel 24:5-7

Christian Standard Bible

⁵ Afterward, David’s conscience bothered^[a](A) him because he had cut off the corner of Saul’s robe.^{[b] 6} He said to his men, “As the Lord is my witness, I would never do such a thing to my lord, the Lord’s anointed.^(B) I will never lift my hand against him, since he is the Lord’s anointed.”^{(C) 7} With these words David persuaded^[c] his men, and he did not let them rise up against Saul.

Then Saul left the cave and went on his way.
