13 As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceeds from the wicked, but my hand shall not be upon thee.
14 After whom is the king of Israel come out? After whom dost thou pursue? After a dead dog? After a flea?
15 The Lord, therefore, shall judge, and he shall judge between me and thee. Let him see and plead my cause, and defend me from thy hand.
16 And it came to pass, when David had finished speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice and wept.
17 And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I, for thou hast repaid me with good, whereas I have repaid thee with evil.
18 And thou hast showed this day how that thou hast dealt well with me; forasmuch as when the Lord had delivered me into thy hand, thou didst not kill me.
19 For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away safe and sound? The Lord reward thee with good for that which thou hast done unto me this day.
