A Novel of King David
David in 1 Samuel 24
(1 Samuel 24:1) And it happened when Saul had returned from following the
Philistines, they told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of En-gedi.
(1 Samuel 24:2) And Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and
went to seek David and his men on the front of the rocks of the wild goats.
(1 Samuel 24:3) And he came to the folds of the flock on the way, where there
was a cave. And Saul went in to cover his feet. And David and his men remained
in the sides of the cave.
(1 Samuel 24:4) And the men of David said to him, Behold, this is the day of
which Jehovah said to you, Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand so
that you may do to him as it shall seem good to you. And David arose and cut off
the skirt of Saul's robe secretly.
(1 Samuel 24:5) And it happened afterward David's heart struck him because he
had cut off Saul's skirt.
(1 Samuel 24:6) And he said to his men, Far be it from me, by Jehovah, if I will
do this thing to my lord, Jehovah's anointed, to stretch forth my hand against
him, since he is the anointed of Jehovah.
(1 Samuel 24:7) And David held back his men with words, and did not allow them
to rise against Saul. And Saul rose up out of the cave and went on his way.
(1 Samuel 24:8) And David arose afterward and went out of the cave, and cried
after Saul, saying, My lord the king! And Saul looked behind him. And David
bowed his face to the earth and prostrated himself.
(1 Samuel 24:9) And David said to Saul, Why do you hear man's words, saying,
Behold, David seeks to do you evil?
(1 Samuel 24:10) Behold, your eyes have seen today how Jehovah had delivered you
today into my hand in the cave. And one said to kill you. But I had pity on you.
And I said, I will not put forth my hand against my lord, for he is Jehovah's
anointed.
(1 Samuel 24:11) And, 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 did not kill you, know
and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand, and I have not
sinned against you. Yet you hunt my soul to take it.
(1 Samuel 24:12) May Jehovah judge between me and you, and may Jehovah avenge me
of you. But my hand shall not be on you.
(1 Samuel 24:13) As the ancient proverb says, Wickedness proceeds from the
wicked. But my hand shall not be on you.
(1 Samuel 24:14) After whom has the king of Israel come out? After whom do you
pursue? After a dead dog? After a flea?
(1 Samuel 24:15) May Jehovah therefore be judge, and judge between you and me,
and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of your hand.
(1 Samuel 24:16) And it happened when David had made an end of speaking these
words to Saul, Saul said, Is this your voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up
his voice and wept.
(1 Samuel 24:17) And he said to David, You are more righteous than I, for you
have rewarded me with good, but I have rewarded you evil.
(1 Samuel 24:18) And you have shown this day how you have dealt well with me,
because when Jehovah shut me up into your hand, you did not kill me.
(1 Samuel 24:19) For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go completely
away? And may Jehovah reward good for what you have done to me this day.
(1 Samuel 24:20) And now, behold, I know well that you shall surely be king, and
that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.
(1 Samuel 24:21) And swear therefore to me before Jehovah that you will not cut
off my seed after me, and that you will not destroy my name out of my father's
house.
(1 Samuel 24:22) And David swore to Saul. And Saul went home, but David and his
men went up into the hold.
