Some of my men begged me to kill you. But I didn’t. I said,‘ I will never lay my hand on my master. He is the Lord’ s anointed king.’Look, my father! Look at this piece of your robe in my hand! I cut off the corner of your robe. But I didn’t kill you. See, there is nothing in my hand that shows I am guilty of doing anything wrong. I haven’t turned against you. I haven’t done anything to harm you. But you are hunting me down. You want to kill me.May the Lord judge between you and me. And may the Lord pay you back because of the wrong things you have done to me. But I won’t do anything to hurt you.People say,‘ Evil acts come from those who do evil.’ So I won’t do anything to hurt you.“ King Saul, who are you trying to catch? Who do you think you are chasing? I’m nothing but a dead dog or a flea!May the Lord be our judge. May he decide between us. May he consider my case and stand up for me. May he show that I’m not guilty of doing anything wrong. May he save me from you.”
