1 Samuel 26:22-24

Modern English Version

²² David answered and said, “See, the king’s spear! Let one of the young men come over and get it. ²³ The Lord requites to every man his right conduct and loyalty. So the Lord gave you into my hand today, but I am not willing to stretch my hand against the Lord’s anointed. ²⁴ As your life was highly valued in my eyes this day, so may my life be highly valued in the eyes of the Lord, and may He rescue me out of all distress.”
