1 Samuel 24:11-14
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?

may he trample me to death
and leave me lying dishonored in the dust. (Selah)
