9And after that David came out of the hollow rock, and crying after Saul said, My lord the king. And when Saul gave a look back, David went down on his face and gave him honour.
10And David said to Saul, Why do you give any attention to those who say that it is my desire to do you wrong?
11Look! you have seen today how the Lord gave you up into my hands even now in the hollow of the rocks: and some would have had me put you to death, but I had pity on you: for I said, Never will my hand be lifted up against my lord, who has been marked with the holy oil.
12And see, my father, see the skirt of your robe in my hand: for the fact that I took off the skirt of your robe and did not put you to death is witness that I have no evil purpose, and I have done you no wrong, though you are waiting for my life to take it.
13May the Lord be judge between me and you, and may the Lord give me my rights against you, but my hand will never be lifted up against you.
14There is an old saying, From the evil-doer comes evil: but my hand will never be lifted up against you.
15After whom has the king of Israel come out? for whom are you searching? for a dead dog, an insect.
