1 Samuel 24:10-15
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
on you and said, ‘I will not extend my hand against my lord, for he is the
Lord’s chosen one.’
24:11 Look, my father, and see the edge of your robe in my hand! When I cut off the edge of your robe, I didn’t kill you. So realize and understand that I am not planning
evil or rebellion. Even though I have not sinned against you, you are waiting in ambush to take my life.
24:12 May the
Lord judge between the two of us, and may the
Lord vindicate me over you, but my hand will not be against you.
24:13 It’s like the old proverb says: ‘From evil people evil proceeds.’ But my hand will not be against you.
24:14 Who has the king of Israel come out after? Who is it that you are pursuing? A dead dog? A single flea?
24:15 May the
Lord be our judge and arbiter. May he see and arbitrate my case and deliver me from your hands!”
1 Samuel 25:28-29
25:28 Please forgive the sin of your servant, for the
Lord will certainly establish the house of my lord, because my lord fights the battles of the
Lord. May no evil be found in you all your days!
25:29 When someone sets out to chase you and to take your life, the life of my lord will be wrapped securely in the bag
of the living by the
Lord your God. But he will sling away the lives of your enemies from the sling’s pocket!
1 Samuel 26:18-20
26:18 He went on to say, “Why is my lord chasing his servant? What have I done? What wrong have I done?
26:19 So let my lord the king now listen to the words of his servant. If the
Lord has incited you against me, may he take delight in
an offering. But if men have instigated this,
may they be cursed before the
Lord! For they have driven me away this day from being united with the
Lord’s inheritance, saying, ‘Go on, serve other gods!’
26:20 Now don’t let my blood fall to the ground away from the
Lord’s presence, for the king of Israel has gone out to look for a flea the way one looks for a partridge
in the hill country.”
