1 Samuel 26:22-24

Evangelical Heritage Version

²² David responded, “Look, here is your spear, O King! Let one of the young men come over and get it. ²³ May the Lord deal with every man according to his righteousness and his faithfulness, because the Lord handed you over to me today, but I would not stretch out my hand against the Lord’s anointed. ²⁴ Just as your life was precious in my eyes today, so let my life be precious in the Lord’s eyes, and let him deliver me from all persecution.”
