1 Samuel 24:5-7

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁵ Afterward, David’s heart smote him because he had cut off Saul’s skirt.

⁶ He said to his men, The Lord forbid that I should do this to my master, the Lord’s anointed, to put my hand out against him, when he is the anointed of the Lord.

⁷ So David checked his men with these words and did not let them rise against Saul. But Saul rose up and left the cave and went on his way.
