— 1 Samuel 24:9, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest thou men’s words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt?”
“And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearkenest thou to men’s words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt? ”
“David said to Saul, "Why do you listen to men's words, saying, 'Behold, David seeks your hurt?'”
“David said to Saul,“Why do you pay attention when men say,‘David is seeking to do you harm’?”
“And David also rose up after him: and going out of the cave, cried after Saul, saying: My lord the king. And Saul looked behind him: and David bowing himself down to the ground, worshipped,”
“And David said to Saul, Why do you give any attention to those who say that it is my desire to do you wrong?”
“And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest thou men’s words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt?”
After this, his own heart struck David, because he had cut off the edge of Saul’s cloak.
And he said to his men: “May the Lord be gracious to me, lest I do this thing to my lord, the Christ of the Lord, so that I lay my hand upon him. For he is the Christ of the Lord.”
And David restrained his men with his words, and he would not permit them to rise up against Saul. And so Saul, going out of the cave, continued to undertake his journey.
Then David also rose up after him. And departing from the cave, he cried out behind the back of Saul, saying: “My lord, the king!” And Saul looked behind him. And David, bowing himself face down to the ground, reverenced.
And he said to Saul: “Why do you listen to the words of men who say: ‘David seeks evil against you?’
Behold, this day your eyes have seen that the Lord has delivered you into my hand, in the cave. And I thought that I might kill you. But my eye has spared you. For I said: I will not extend my hand against my lord, for he is the Christ of the Lord.
Moreover, see and know, O my father, the edge of your cloak in my hand. For though I cut off the top of your cloak, I was not willing to extend my hand against you. Turn your soul and see that there is no evil in my hand, nor any iniquity or sin against you. Yet you lie in wait for my life, so that you may take it away.
