1 Samuel 24:5-7
New American Standard Bible
5 But it came about afterward that (A)David’s [a]conscience bothered him because he had cut off the edge of Saul’s robe. 6 So he said to his men, “(B)Far be it from me because of the Lord that I would do this thing to my lord, the Lord’s anointed, to reach out with my hand against him, since he is the Lord’s anointed.” 7 And David rebuked his men with these words and did not allow them to rise up against Saul. And Saul got up, [b]left the cave, and went on his way.

1 Samuel 24:5-7
American Standard Version
5 And it came to pass afterward, that David’s heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul’s skirt. 6 And he said unto his men, Jehovah forbid that I should do this thing unto my lord, Jehovah’s anointed, to put forth my hand against him, seeing he is Jehovah’s anointed. 7 So David checked his men with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. And Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.
