12 May the Lord judge which one of us is wrong! May he punish you for your action against me, for I will not harm you in the least.
13 You know the old saying, ‘Evil is done only by evil people.’ And so I will not harm you.
14 Look at what the king of Israel is trying to kill! Look at what he is chasing! A dead dog, a flea!
15 The Lord will judge, and he will decide which one of us is wrong. May he look into the matter, defend me, and save me from you.”
16 When David had finished speaking, Saul said, “Is that really you, David my son?” And he started crying.
17 Then he said to David, “You are right, and I am wrong. You have been so good to me, while I have done such wrong to you!
18 Today you have shown how good you are to me, because you did not kill me, even though the Lord put me in your power.
