1 Samuel 24:11-13

New International Reader's Version

¹¹ Look, my father! Look at this piece of your robe in my hand! I cut off the corner of your robe. But I didn’t kill you. See, there is nothing in my hand that shows I am guilty of doing anything wrong. I haven’t turned against you. I haven’t done anything to harm you. But you are hunting me down. You want to kill me. ¹² May the Lord judge between you and me. And may the Lord pay you back because of the wrong things you have done to me. But I won’t do anything to hurt you. ¹³ People say, ‘Evil acts come from those who do evil.’ So I won’t do anything to hurt you.
