1 Samuel 24:10 in Multiple Translations
Behold, this day you have seen with your own eyes that the LORD delivered you into my hand in the cave. I was told to kill you, but I spared you and said, ‘I will not lift my hand against my lord, since he is the LORD’s anointed.’
Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee: but mine eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my lord; for he is the LORD’s anointed.
Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that Jehovah had delivered thee to-day into my hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee; but mine eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth my hand against my lord; for he is Jehovah’s anointed.
Look! you have seen today how the Lord gave you up into my hands even now in the hollow of the rocks: and some would have had me put you to death, but I had pity on you: for I said, Never will my hand be lifted up against my lord, who has been marked with the holy oil.
“Just look! You've seen with your own eyes today that the Lord handed you over to me in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I showed you compassion, and said, ‘I refuse to attack my master, for he is the Lord's anointed one.’
And Dauid saide to Saul, Wherefore giuest thou an eare to mens words, that say, Behold, Dauid seeketh euill against thee?
Lo, this day have thine eyes seen how that Jehovah hath given thee to-day into my hand in the cave; and [one] said to slay thee, and [mine eye] hath pity on thee, and I say, I do not put forth my hand against my lord, for the anointed of Jehovah he [is].

And said to Saul: Why dost thou hear the words of men that say David seeketh thy hurt?
Today you can see with your own eyes that what they say is not true. Yahweh put you in a place where my men and I could have killed you when you were in this cave. Some of my men told me that I should do that, but I did not do that. I said to them, ‘I will not harm my master, because he is the king whom Yahweh appointed.’
Just now God brought us together in this cave. I could do whatever I liked to you. Some said to me, ‘You can kill him dead now.’ But I was sorry for you. I said, ‘No, I can’t kill my boss. God picked him, to be the big boss of Israel.’

Context — David Spares Saul
8After that, David got up, went out of the cave, and called out to Saul, “My lord the king!” When Saul looked behind him, David bowed facedown in reverence
9and said to Saul, “Why do you listen to the words of men who say, ‘Look, David intends to harm you’?
10Behold, this day you have seen with your own eyes that the LORD delivered you into my hand in the cave. I was told to kill you, but I spared you and said, ‘I will not lift my hand against my lord, since he is the LORD’s anointed.’
11See, my father, look at the corner of your robe in my hand. For I cut it off, but I did not kill you. Know and see that there is no evil or rebellion in my hands. I have not sinned against you, even though you are hunting me down to take my life. 12May the LORD judge between you and me, and may the LORD take vengeance on you, but my hand will never be against you.Cross References

1 Samuel 24:10 Summary
[In 1 Samuel 24:10, David shows us what it means to trust in God's sovereignty and timing, rather than taking matters into our own hands. Even when he had the opportunity to kill Saul, David chose to spare his life because he recognized that Saul was the Lord's anointed. This shows us the importance of respecting and honoring those in authority over us, even if we disagree with them, as seen in Romans 13:1-2. By trusting in God and showing respect to others, we can live a life of faith and obedience, just like David.]
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did David spare Saul's life in the cave?
David spared Saul's life because he recognized that Saul was the Lord's anointed, and he did not want to lift his hand against him, as stated in 1 Samuel 24:10, and also in line with the principle found in Exodus 22:28 to not curse or harm leaders appointed by God.
What does it mean to be the 'Lord's anointed'?
To be the 'Lord's anointed' means to be chosen and set apart by God for a specific purpose or role, such as a king, as seen in 1 Samuel 10:1 where Saul was anointed by Samuel, and in Psalm 2:2 where the kings of the earth are referred to as the Lord's anointed.
Is it ever right to disobey a leader if they are doing wrong?
According to Romans 13:1-2, we are to submit to our leaders, but as seen in 1 Samuel 24:10, David's actions show that there may be times when we must choose to obey God rather than human leaders, while still showing respect and honor to those in authority.
How can we apply David's example to our own lives?
We can apply David's example by choosing to trust in God's sovereignty and timing, rather than taking matters into our own hands, as seen in Psalm 37:7, and by showing respect and honor to those in authority over us, even if we disagree with them.
Reflection Questions
- What are some times in my life when I have been given the opportunity to choose between revenge and mercy, and how did I respond?
- How can I cultivate a heart of respect and honor towards those in authority over me, even if I disagree with them?
- What are some ways that I can trust in God's sovereignty and timing, rather than taking matters into my own hands?
- How can I balance the need to stand up for what is right with the need to show respect and honor to those in authority?
- What does it mean for me to recognize and respect the 'Lord's anointed' in my own life and community?
Gill's Exposition on 1 Samuel 24:10
Behold, this day thine eyes have seen,.... Or may see; there is full proof and evidence of it, and which will be presently shown: how that the Lord had delivered thee today into mine hand in the
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Samuel 24:10
Mine eye; which words are easily understood both from the nature of the thing, and from the use of this phrase in other scriptures, as 13:8. The eye is said to spare, because it affects the heart with pity, and moves a man to spare.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Samuel 24:10
1 Samuel 24:10 Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave: and [some] bade [me] kill thee: but [mine eye] spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my lord; for he [is] the LORD’ S anointed.Ver. 10. Behold, this day thine eyes have seen.] This is David’ s defence; wherein each word hath its weight, each syllable its substance. We may lawfully, when wronged, clear our own innocence, so we do it, as here, with meekness and wisdom. Sed o quam hoc non est omnium.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Samuel 24:10
(10) Thine eyes have seen.—David and a crowd of armed men around him were standing at the entrance of the cave which King Saul had just left; thus the king’s eye had seen—nay, was seeing that very moment—that his life had been in his enemy David’s hand. And some bade me kill thee.—The literal translation here would be Jehovah delivered thee to-day into mine hand in the cave, and bade [me] kill thee. And this rendering has been explained by assuming that God’s allowing Saul to choose the very cavern for his midday slumber where David and his company were lodging was tantamount to directing David to slay his bitter foe, thus given over helpless into his hands; but this is contrary to the spirit of the whole narrative. The English Version has followed the Syriac and Chaldee Versions here, and by supplying “some”—better, perhaps, one—before “bade me kill thee,” has given us the sense in which the Hebrews have always understood the passage. The Vulg. here, with a very slight change in the vowel points, renders “I thought to kill thee.” But mine eye spared thee.—The English Version supplies an obvious subject in “mine eye.” Clericus suggests more happily, “my soul,” or “my hand,” before “spared thee.”
