9David said to Saul, |Why do you listen to men's words, saying, 'Behold, David seeks your hurt?'


In Context

6 He said to his men, |Yahweh forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, Yahweh's anointed, to put forth my hand against him, since he is Yahweh's anointed.|

7 So David checked his men with these words, and didn't allow them to rise against Saul. Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.

8 David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, |My lord the king!| When Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth, and did obeisance.

9 David said to Saul, |Why do you listen to men's words, saying, 'Behold, David seeks your hurt?'

10 Behold, this day your eyes have seen how that Yahweh had delivered you today into my hand in the cave. Some urged me to kill you; but I spared you; and I said, I will not put forth my hand against my lord; for he is Yahweh's anointed.

11 Moreover, my father, behold, yes, see the skirt of your robe in my hand; for in that I cut off the skirt of your robe, and didn't kill you, know and see that there is neither evil nor disobedience in my hand, and I have not sinned against you, though you hunt for my life to take it.
