1 Samuel 24:11-13

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹¹ Take a look at this! My father, take a good look at the piece of your robe that is here in my hand. Because I cut off the edge of your robe but did not kill you, you can be sure that I do not have any evil intent and I am not rebelling. I have not sinned against you, even though you keep hunting for me to take my life. ¹² May the Lord judge between you and me, and may the Lord avenge me on you, but my hand will not be against you. ¹³ As the ancient proverb says, ‘Out of the wicked come wicked deeds,’ but my hand will not be against you.
