1 Samuel 24:5-7

Tree of Life Version

⁵ But afterward, David’s conscience bothered him for cutting off the edge of Saul’s robe. ⁶ So he said to his fellow men, “Adonai forbid that I should do such a thing to my lord, Adonai’s anointed, stretching out my hand against him—for he is Adonai’s anointed.” ⁷ So David persuaded his fellow men with these words and did not let them rise against Saul. Then Saul left the cave and went on his way.
