Thematic Bible: Saul's contrition for his bad faith

And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept. And he said to David, Thou are more righteous than I, for thou have rendered to me good, whereas I have rendered to thee evil. And thou have declared this day how that thou have dealt well with me, inasmuch as when LORD had delivered me up into thy hand, thou killed me not. read more.
For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away well? Therefore LORD reward thee good for that which thou have done to me this day. And now, behold, I know that thou shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thy hand. Swear now therefore to me by LORD, that thou will not cut off my seed after me, and that thou will not destroy my name out of my father's house. And David swore to Saul. And Saul went home, but David and his men got up to the stronghold.
