1 Samuel 24:5-7

Modern English Version

⁵ Afterward David’s heart troubled him because he had cut off a corner of Saul’s robe. ⁶ He said to his men, “The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, the Lord’s anointed, to stretch out my hand against him. For he is anointed of the Lord.” ⁷ So David dispersed his men by these words and did not let them rise against Saul. And Saul arose from the cave and went on his way.
