Saul went into the cave to use the restroom. Meanwhile, David and his soldiers were sitting in the very back of the cave. 4David\u2019s soldiers said to him, \u201cThis is the day the LORD spoke of when he promised you, \u2018I will hand your enemy over to you, and you can do to him whatever you think best.\u2019\u201d So David snuck up and cut off a corner of Saul\u2019s robe. 5But immediately David felt horrible that he had cut off a corner of Saul\u2019s robe. 6\u201cThe LORD forbid,\u201d he told his men, \u201cthat I should do something like that to my master, the LORD\u2019s anointed, or lift my hand against him, because he\u2019s the LORD\u2019s anointed!\u201d 7So David held his soldiers in check by what he said, and he wouldn\u2019t allow them to attack Saul. Saul then left the cave and went on his way. 8Then David also went out of the cave and yelled after Saul, \u201cMy master the king!\u201d Saul looked back, and David bowed low out of respect, nose to the ground. 9David said to Saul, \u201cWhy do you listen when people say, \u2018David wants to ruin you\u2019? 10Look! Today your own eyes have seen that the LORD handed you over to me in the cave. But I refused to kill you. I spared you, saying, \u2018I won\u2019t lift a hand against my master because he is the LORD\u2019s anointed.\u2019 11Look here, my protector! See the corner of your robe in my hand? I cut off the corner of your robe but didn\u2019t kill you. So know now that I am not guilty of wrongdoing or rebellion. I haven\u2019t wronged you, but you are hunting me down, trying to kill me. 12May the LORD judge between me and you! May the LORD take vengeance on you for me, but I won\u2019t lift a hand against you. 13As the old proverb goes, \u2018Evil deeds come from evildoers!\u2019 but I won\u2019t lift a hand against you. 14So who is Israel\u2019s king coming after? Who are you chasing? A dead dog? A single flea? 15May the LORD be the judge and decide between you and me. May he see what has happened, argue my case, and vindicate me against you!\u201d 16As soon as David finished saying all this to Saul, Saul said, \u201cDavid, my son, is that your voice?\u201d Then he broke down in tears, 17telling David, \u201cYou are more righteous than I am because you have treated me generously, but I have treated you terribly. 18Today you\u2019ve told me the good you have done for me\u2014how the LORD handed me over to you, but how you didn\u2019t kill me. 19When someone finds an enemy, do they send the enemy away in peace? May the LORD repay you with good for what you have done for me today. 20Now even I know that you will definitely become king, and Israel\u2019s kingdom will flourish in your hands. 21Because of that, make a solemn pledge to me by the LORD that you won\u2019t kill off my descendants after I\u2019m gone and that you won\u2019t destroy my name from my family lineage.\u201d 22David made a solemn pledge to Saul. Then Saul went back home, but David and his soldiers went up to the fortress. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmpiSmtLdERiYVk3VFdMMnpKcEtCSGlGZFhLZ3xBQ3Jtc0ttcWpybmZzT0Q2NUc4MTNES3lwLUhWYVllSkFGcGlCTks0SGFNYlBDLVdMQTJRVjBYbDBLUkhiZUtDWWwtR3Brd3BESmRSbExjLVJYaWg3MjlvdHg3LXpqY1hvTXNtdUdsdGQ2YlhKdUpNTE00Z0UyYw&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Ftemtube.com%2F&amp;v=hXJIPGeLhCE\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/temtube.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 Even as Saul returned from pursuing the Philistines, he was informed that David was in the En-gedi wilderness. 2So Saul took three thousand men selected from all Israel and went to look for David and his soldiers near the rocks of the wild goats. 3He came to the sheep pens beside the road where [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3781,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1998,1999,6,752,5],"class_list":["post-2384","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-youtube","tag-1-samuel-24-david-spares-sauls-life","tag-https-www-youtube-com-watchvhxjipgelhce","tag-thomas-mcneilly","tag-thomas-mcneilly-videos","tag-youtube"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2384"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2385,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384\/revisions\/2385"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2384"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2384"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2384"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
