1 Samuel 24:7

David Spares Saul

6So he said to his men, “The LORD forbid that I should do such a thing to my master, the LORD’s anointed. May I never lift my hand against him, since he is the LORD’s anointed.”7With these words David restrained his men, and he did not let them rise up against Saul. Then Saul left the cave and went on his way.
