8. David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, “My lord the king!”When Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth, and showed respect.
9. David said to Saul, “Why do you listen to men’s words, saying, ‘Behold, David seeks to harm you?’
10. Behold, today your eyes have seen how the Lord had delivered you today into my hand in the cave. Some urged me to kill you; but I spared you; and I said, I will not stretch out my hand against my lord; for he is the Lord’s anointed.
11. Moreover, my father, behold, yes, see the skirt of your robe in my hand; for in that I cut off the skirt of your robe, and didn’t kill you, know and see that there is neither evil nor disobedience in my hand, and I have not sinned against you, though you hunt for my life to take it.
