1 Samuel 24:4-7
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.”
24:7 David restrained his men with these words and did not allow them to rise up against Saul. Then Saul left the cave and started down
the road.
1 Samuel 26:8-11
26:8 Abishai said to David, “Today God has delivered your enemy into your hands. Now let me drive the spear
right through him into the ground with one swift jab!
A second jab won’t be necessary!”
26:9 But David said to Abishai, “Don’t kill him! Who can extend his hand against the Lord’s chosen one and remain guiltless?”
26:10 David went on to say, “As the Lord lives, the Lord himself will strike him down. Either his day will come and he will die, or he will go down into battle and be swept away.
26:11 But may the 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!”

Job 31:29-31
31:29 If I have rejoiced over the misfortune of my enemy
or exulted because calamity found him –
31:30 I have not even permitted my mouth to sin
by asking for his life through a curse –
31:31 if the members of my household have never said,
‘If only there were someone
who has not been satisfied from Job’s meat!’ –
