1 Samuel 24:8-10

Easy-to-Read Version

⁸ Later, David came out of the cave and called out to Saul, “My lord the king!”

Saul looked back. David bowed with his face to the ground to show his respect. ⁹ David said to Saul, “Why do you listen when people say, ‘David plans to hurt you’? ¹⁰ You can see that with your own eyes that is not true. The Lord put you within my grasp today in the cave, but I refused to kill you. I was merciful to you. I said, ‘I won’t hurt my master. Saul is the Lord’s chosen king.’
