David Spares Saul's Life
1
It came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying: 'Behold, David is in the wilderness of En-gedi.'

Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men on the rocks of the wild goats.

He came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet. Now David and his men were sitting in the innermost parts of the cave.

The men of David said to him: 'Behold the day in which IAUA has said to you: Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you.' Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily.

It came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.

So David checked his men with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.

David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying: 'My lord the king.' When Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth, and prostrated himself.

It came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said: 'Is this your voice, my son David?' Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
