Context
David Spares Saul’s Life
24:1 When Saul returned from pursuing the Philistines , they told him, “Look , David is in the desert of En Gedi .”
24:2 So Saul took three thousand select men from all Israel and went to find David and his men in the region of the rocks of the mountain goats .
24:3 He came to the sheepfolds by the road , where there was a cave . Saul went into it to relieve himself . Now David and his men were sitting in the recesses of the cave .
24:4 David’s men said to him, “This is the day about which the Lord said to you, ‘I will give your enemy into your hand , and you can do to him whatever seems appropriate to you.’” So David got up and quietly cut off an edge of Saul’s robe .
24:5 Afterward David’s conscience bothered him because he had cut off an edge of Saul’s robe.
24:6 He said to his men , “May the Lord keep me far away from doing such a thing to my lord , who is the Lord’s chosen one , by extending my hand against him. After all , he is the Lord’s chosen one .”
