1 Samuel 26:20-22

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁰ And now let not my blood be shed upon the earth before the Lord: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as the partridge is hunted in the mountains.

²¹ And Saul said: I have sinned, return, my son David, for I will no more do thee harm, because my life hath been precious in thy eyes this day: for it appeareth that I have done foolishly, and have been ignorant in very many things.

²² And David answering, said: Behold the king's spear: let one of the king's servants come over and fetch it.
