1 Samuel 24:10-12
New International Version
10 This day you have seen with your own eyes how the Lord delivered you into my hands in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I spared(A) you; I said, ‘I will not lay my hand on my lord, because he is the Lord’s anointed.’ 11 See, my father, look at this piece of your robe in my hand! I cut(B) off the corner of your robe but did not kill you. See that there is nothing in my hand to indicate that I am guilty(C) of wrongdoing(D) or rebellion. I have not wronged(E) you, but you are hunting(F) me down to take my life.(G) 12 May the Lord judge(H) between you and me. And may the Lord avenge(I) the wrongs you have done to me, but my hand will not touch you.

15 Then David called one of his men and said, “Go, strike him down!”(B) So he struck him down, and he died.(C) 16 For David had said to him, “Your blood be on your own head.(D) Your own mouth testified against you when you said, ‘I killed the Lord’s anointed.’”
