1 Samuel 26:21-23

International Standard Version

Saul Apologizes Again

²¹ Then Saul said, “I’ve wronged you. Return, my son David, for I won’t harm you again because my life was precious to you^[a] today. Look, I’ve acted foolishly and have made a very great mistake.”

²² David replied, “Here’s the king’s spear. Have one of the young men come over and get it. ²³ The Lord repays a person for his righteousness and his faithfulness. The Lord gave you into my control today, but I refused to raise my hand against the Lord’s anointed.
