Look, my father, at what I have in my hand. It is a piece of the hem of your robe! I cut it off, but I didn’t kill you. This proves that I am not trying to harm you and that I have not sinned against you, even though you have been hunting for me to kill me.

我父啊，看看你外袍的衣襟在我手中。我割下你的衣襟，没有杀你；你由此可以知道我没有恶意叛逆你。你虽然猎取我的命，我却没有得罪你。

我父啊，请看，看你外袍的衣角在我手中。我割下你外袍的衣角，却没有杀你。你知道，并且看见我没有恶意要悖逆你。你虽然要猎取我的命，我却没有得罪你。

我父乎、請觀爾裾在於我手、我既斷之、而不殺爾、可知我手無惡無過、爾雖獵取我命、而我未嘗獲罪於爾、

爾乃吾君父、第斷爾裾、今執於手以為證、我不加殺害、俾爾知我不犯上、初無不善。然爾遍索我、欲喪我命。

See, my father, look at this piece of your robe in my hand! I cut off the corner of your robe but did not kill you. See that there is nothing in my hand to indicate that I am guilty of wrongdoing or rebellion. I have not wronged you, but you are hunting me down to take my life.

Must I die on foreign soil, far from the presence of the Lord? Why has the king of Israel come out to search for a single flea? Why does he hunt me down like a partridge on the mountains?”

Discover his hiding places, and come back when you are sure. Then I’ll go with you. And if he is in the area at all, I’ll track him down, even if I have to search every hiding place in Judah!”

David now stayed in the strongholds of the wilderness and in the hill country of Ziph. Saul hunted him day after day, but God didn’t let Saul find him.

This fulfills what is written in their Scriptures:‘ They hated me without cause.’

Why are you chasing me? What have I done? What is my crime?

But his officers tried to reason with him and said,“ Sir, if the prophet had told you to do something very difficult, wouldn’t you have done it? So you should certainly obey him when he says simply,‘ Go and wash and be cured!’”

he and his men went out and killed 200 Philistines. Then David fulfilled the king’s requirement by presenting all their foreskins to him. So Saul gave his daughter Michal to David to be his wife.

O Lord my God, if I have done wrong or am guilty of injustice,if I have betrayed a friend or plundered my enemy without cause,

We couldn’t go into the streets without danger to our lives. Our end was near; our days were numbered. We were doomed!

Don’t let liars prosper here in our land. Cause great disasters to fall on the violent.

A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare.

This is what the Sovereign Lord says: What sorrow awaits you women who are ensnaring the souls of my people, young and old alike. You tie magic charms on their wrists and furnish them with magic veils. Do you think you can trap others without bringing destruction on yourselves?

And if I hold my head high, you hunt me like a lion and display your awesome power against me.

The godly people have all disappeared; not one honest person is left on the earth. They are all murderers, setting traps even for their own brothers.

I did them no wrong, but they laid a trap for me. I did them no wrong, but they dug a pit to catch me.
