1 When Saul came back from ⌊fighting⌋ the Philistines, he was told “Now David is in the desert near En Gedi.”
2 Then Saul took 3,000 of the best-trained men from all Israel and went to search for David and his men on the Rocks of the Wild Goats.
3 He came to some sheep pens along the road where there was a cave. Saul went into ⌊it⌋ to relieve himself while David and his men were sitting further back in the cave.
4 David’s men told him, “Today is the day the Lord referred to when he said, ‘I’m going to hand your enemy over to you. You will do to him whatever you think is right.’”David quietly got up and cut off the border of Saul’s robe.
5 But afterward, David’s conscience bothered him because he had cut off the border of Saul’s robe.
