20 (A)Should good be repaid with evil?
Yet (B)they have dug a pit for my life.
(C)Remember how I stood before you
to speak good for them,
to turn away your wrath from them.
21 Therefore (D)deliver up their children to famine;
give them over to the power of the sword;
let their wives become childless (E)and widowed.
May their men meet death by pestilence,
their youths be struck down by the sword in battle.

1 Samuel 26:9-17
English Standard Version
9 But David said to Abishai, “Do not destroy him, for who can put out his hand (A)against the Lord's anointed and be guiltless?” 10 And David said, (B)“As the Lord lives, (C)the Lord will strike him, or (D)his day will come to die, (E)or he will go down into battle and perish. 11 (F)The Lord forbid that I should put out my hand against the Lord's anointed. But take now the spear that is (G)at his head and the jar of water, and let us go.” 12 So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul's head, and they went away. No man saw it or knew it, nor did any awake, for they were all asleep, because (H)a deep sleep from the Lord had fallen upon them.
13 Then David went over to the other side and stood far off on the top of the hill, with a great space between them. 14 And David called to the army, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, “Will you not answer, Abner?” Then Abner answered, “Who are you who calls to the king?” 15 And David said to Abner, “Are you not a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy the king your lord. 16 This thing that you have done is not good. (I)As the Lord lives, you deserve to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, the Lord's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is and the jar of water that was (J)at his head.”
17 Saul recognized David's voice and said, (K)“Is this your voice, my son David?” And David said, “It is my voice, my lord, O king.”

28 Please forgive the trespass of your servant. For the Lord will certainly make my lord (A)a sure house, because my lord (B)is fighting the battles of the Lord, and evil shall not be found in you so long as you live. 29 If men rise up to pursue you and to seek your life, the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living in the care of the Lord your God. And the lives of your enemies (C)he shall sling out as from the hollow of a sling.

17 He said to David, “You are more righteous than I, (A)for you have repaid me good, whereas I have repaid you evil. 18 And you have declared this day how you have dealt well with me, in that you did not kill me when the Lord put me into your hands. 19 For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away safe?

1 Samuel 24:10-15
English Standard Version
10 Behold, this day your eyes have seen how the Lord gave you today into my hand in the cave. (A)And some told me to kill you, but I spared you.[a] I said, ‘I will not put out my hand against my lord, (B)for he is the Lord's anointed.’ 11 See, my father, see the corner of your robe in my hand. For by the fact that I cut off the corner of your robe and did not kill you, you may know and see that (C)there is no wrong or treason in my hands. I have not sinned against you, though (D)you hunt my life to take it. 12 (E)May the Lord judge between me and you, may the Lord avenge me against you, but my hand shall not be against you. 13 As the proverb of the ancients says, ‘Out of the wicked comes wickedness.’ But my hand shall not be against you. 14 After whom has the king of Israel come out? After whom do you pursue? (F)After a dead dog! (G)After a flea! 15 (H)May the Lord therefore be judge and give sentence between me and you, and see to it and (I)plead my cause and deliver me from your hand.”
