1 Samuel 24:6-7

English Standard Version

⁶ He said to his men, ^(A)“The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, the Lord's anointed, to put out my hand against him, seeing he is ^(B)the Lord's anointed.” ⁷ So David persuaded his men with these words ^(C)and did not permit them to attack Saul. And Saul rose up and left the cave and went on his way.
