— 1 Samuel 26:22, NET Bible
“And David answered and said, Behold the king’s spear! and let one of the young men come over and fetch it.”
“And David answered and said, Behold the spear, O king! let then one of the young men come over and fetch it. ”
“David answered, "Behold the spear, O king! Then let one of the young men come over and get it.”
“And David answering, said: Behold the king's spear: let one of the king's servants come over and fetch it.”
“Then David said, Here is the king's spear! let one of the young men come over and get it.”
“And David answered and said, Behold the king’s spear! and let one of the young men come over and fetch it.”
So let my lord the king now listen to the words of his servant. If the LORD has incited you against me, may he take delight in an offering. But if men have instigated this, may they be cursed before the LORD! For they have driven me away this day from being united with the LORD’s inheritance, saying,‘Go on, serve other gods!’
Now don’t let my blood fall to the ground away from the LORD’s presence, for the king of Israel has gone out to look for a flea the way one looks for a partridge in the hill country.”
Saul replied,“I have sinned. Come back, my son David. I won’t harm you anymore, for you treated my life with value this day. I have behaved foolishly and have made a very terrible mistake!”
David replied,“Here is the king’s spear! Let one of your servants cross over and get it.
The LORD rewards each man for his integrity and loyalty. Even though today the LORD delivered you into my hand, I was not willing to extend my hand against the LORD’s chosen one.
In the same way that I valued your life this day, may the LORD value my life and deliver me from all danger.”
Saul replied to David,“May you be rewarded, my son David! You will without question be successful!” So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
