Chapter 24

KJV - 1 Samuel 24:10

Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee: but mine eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my lord; for he is the LORD’s anointed.

Look, today you saw how the Lord saved you into my hands in a cave. Some told me to kill you, but I didn't want to hurt you. I thought, 'I won't raise my hand against my lord,' because you are the one chosen by the Lord.
