1 Samuel 24:14
David Spares Saul
13As the old proverb says, ‘Wickedness proceeds from the wicked.’ But my hand will never be against you.14Against whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom are you pursuing? A dead dog? A flea?15May the LORD be our judge and decide between you and me. May He take notice and plead my case and deliver me from your hand.”
