1 Samuel 24:18-20

Contemporary English Version

¹⁸ You've told me how you were kind enough not to kill me when the Lord gave you the chance. ¹⁹ If you really were my enemy, you wouldn't have let me leave here alive. I pray that the Lord will give you a big reward for what you did today.

²⁰ I realize now that you will be the next king, and a powerful king at that.
