1 Samuel 26:20-22

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²⁰ Now, therefore, do not let my blood fall to the ground, away from the presence of the Lord; for the king of Israel has come out to seek a single flea, like one who hunts a partridge in the mountains.’

²¹ Then Saul said, ‘I have done wrong; come back, my son David, for I will never harm you again, because my life was precious in your sight today; I have been a fool, and have made a great mistake.’ ²² David replied, ‘Here is the spear, O king! Let one of the young men come over and get it.
