Now David and his men were in the deepest part of the hollow. <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> And David&#8217;s men said to him, Now is the time when the Lord says to you, I will give up your hater into your hands to do with him whatever seems good to you. Then David, getting up, took the skirt of Saul&#8217;s robe in his hand, cutting off the end of it without his knowledge. <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> And later, David was full of regret for cutting off Saul&#8217;s skirt. <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> And David said to his men, Before the Lord, never let it be said that my hand was lifted up against my lord, the man of the Lord&#8217;s selection, for the Lord&#8217;s holy oil has been put on him. <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> And after that David came out of the hollow rock, and crying after Saul said, My lord the king. And when Saul gave a look back, David went down on his face and gave him honour. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> And David said to Saul, Why do you give any attention to those who say that it is my desire to do you wrong? <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> Look! you have seen today how the Lord gave you up into my hands even now in the hollow of the rocks: and some would have had me put you to death, but I had pity on you: for I said, Never will my hand be lifted up against my lord, who has been marked with the holy oil. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> And see, my father, see the skirt of your robe in my hand: for the fact that I took off the skirt of your robe and did not put you to death is witness that I have no evil purpose, and I have done you no wrong, though you are waiting for my life to take it. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> May the Lord be judge between me and you, and may the Lord give me my rights against you, but my hand will never be lifted up against you. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> There is an old saying, From the evil-doer comes evil: but my hand will never be lifted up against you. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> After whom has the king of Israel come out? for whom are you searching? for a dead dog, an insect. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> So let the Lord be judge, and give a decision between me and you, and see and give support to my cause, and keep me from falling into your hands. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> Now when David had said these words to Saul, Saul said, Is this your voice, David, my son? And Saul was overcome with weeping. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> And he said to David, You are right and I am wrong: for you have given me back good, but I have given you evil. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> And you have made clear to me how good you have been to me today: because, when the Lord gave me up into your hands, you did not put me to death. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> If a man comes across his hater, will he let him get away safe? so may you be rewarded by the Lord for what you have done for me today. <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> And now I am certain that you will be king, and that the kingdom of Israel will be made strong under your authority. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> So give me your oath by the Lord, that you will not put an end to my seed after me or let my name be cut off from my father&#8217;s family. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> And David gave Saul his oath. And Saul went back to his house; but David and his men went up to their safe place. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n    google_ad_slot =
