1 Samuel 18:17
18:17 Then Saul said to David, “Here’s my oldest daughter, Merab. I want to give her to you in marriage. Only be a brave warrior for me and fight the battles of the Lord.” For Saul thought, “There’s no need for me to raise my hand against him. Let it be the hand of the Philistines!”

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

by extending my hand against him. After all,
he is the
Lord’s chosen one.”
1 Samuel 24:10
24:10 Today your own eyes see how the
Lord delivered you – this very day – into my hands in the cave. Some told me to kill you, but I had pity

Lord’s chosen one.’

Lord prevent me from extending my hand against the
Lord’s chosen one! Now take the spear by Saul’s head and the jug of water, and let’s get out of here!”
