16It 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.
17He said to David, You are more righteous than I; for you have rendered to me good, whereas I have rendered to you evil.
18You have declared this day how that you have dealt well with me, because when Yahweh had delivered me up into your hand, you didn`t kill me.
19For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away? why Yahweh reward you good for that which you have done to me this day.
20Now, behold, I know that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.
21Swear now therefore to me by Yahweh, that you will not cut off my seed after me, and that you will not destroy my name out of my father`s house.
22David swore to Saul. Saul went home; but David and his men got them up to the stronghold.
