1 Samuel 24:14

David Spares Saul In The Cave At En Gedi

¹³ As saith the proverb of the ancients, From the lawless, proceedeth lawlessness, - mine own hand, therefore shall not be upon thee. ¹⁴ After whom, hath the king of Israel come forth? After whom, art thou in pursuit? After a dead dog! after a single flea! ¹⁵ Therefore shall, Yahweh, become, judge, and do justice betwixt me and thee, - that he may see, and plead my cause, and justly deliver me out of thy hand.
