1 Samuel 24:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ After which David's heart struck him, because he had cut off the hem of Saul's robe.

⁷ And he said to his men: The Lord be merciful unto me, that I may do no such thing to my master the Lord's anointed, as to lay my hand upon him, because he is the Lord's anointed.

⁸ And David stopped his men with his words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rising up out of the cave, went on his way.
