21 Then Saul said, "I have sinned. My son David, come back. Today you thought my life was very special. So I won't try to harm you again. I've really acted like a foolish person. I've made a huge mistake."
22 "Here's your spear," David answered. "Send one of your young men over to get it.
23 "The Lord rewards everyone for doing what is right and being faithful. He handed you over to me today. But I wouldn't lay a hand on you. You are the Lord's anointed king.
24 Today I thought your life had great value. In the same way, may the Lord think of my life as having great value. May he save me from all trouble."
