NASB
"David persuaded his men with these words and did not allow them to rise up against Saul. And Saul arose, left the cave, and went on his way."
— 1 Samuel 24:7, NASB
“So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.”
“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. ”
“So David checked his men with these words, and didn't allow them to rise against Saul. Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.”
“David restrained his men with these words and did not allow them to rise up against Saul. Then Saul left the cave and started down the road.”
“And he said to his men: The Lord be merciful unto me, that I may do no such thing to my master, the Lord's anointed, as to lay my hand upon him, because he is the Lord's anointed.”
“So with these words David kept his servants back, and did not let them make an attack on Saul. And Saul got up and went on his way.”
“So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.”
The men of David said to him, "Behold, this is the day of which the LORD said to you, 'Behold; I am about to give your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it seems good to you.'" Then David arose and cut off the edge of Saul's robe secretly.
It came about afterward that David's conscience bothered him because he had cut off the edge of Saul's robe.
So he said to his men, "Far be it from me because of the LORD that I should do this thing to my lord, the LORD'S anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, since he is the LORD'S anointed."
David persuaded his men with these words and did not allow them to rise up against Saul. And Saul arose, left the cave, and went on his way.
Now afterward David arose and went out of the cave and called after Saul, saying, "My lord the king!" And when Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the ground and prostrated himself.
David said to Saul, "Why do you listen to the words of men, saying, 'Behold, David seeks to harm you'?
"Behold, this day your eyes have seen that the LORD had given you today into my hand in the cave, and some said to kill you, but my eye had pity on you; and I said, 'I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD'S anointed.'
