Kings I 24:6 In-Context

4 And he came to the flocks of sheep that were by the way, and there was a cave there; and Saul went in to make preparation, and David and his men were sitting in the inner part of the cave.

5 And the men of David said to him, Behold, this the day of which the Lord spoke to thee, that he would deliver thine enemy into thy hands; and thou shalt do to him as good in thy sight. So David arose and cut off the skirt of Saul's garment secretly.

6 And it came to pass after this that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off the skirt of his garment.

7 And David said to his men, The Lord forbid it me, that I should do this ting to my lord the anointed of the Lord, to lift my hand against him; for he is the anointed of the Lord.

8 So David persuaded his men by words, and did not suffer them to arise and slay Saul: and Saul arose and went his way.
