17 Y dijo a David: Más justo eres tú que yo, que me has pagado con bien, habiéndote yo pagado con mal.

18 Tú has mostrado hoy que has hecho conmigo bien; pues no me has dado muerte, habiéndome el SEÑOR puesto en tus manos.

19 Porque ¿quién hallará a su enemigo, y lo dejará ir sano y salvo? El SEÑOR te pague con bien por lo que en este día has hecho conmigo.
