00:00.540 --> 00:05.540
Chapter 24 4 And it came to pass,
when Saul was returned through the

00:05.540 --> 00:09.740
following the Philistines, that it was
told him, saying, Behold David is in the

00:09.740 --> 00:10.700
wilderness of En Gedi.

00:11.060 --> 00:15.440
5 Then Saul took three thousand chosen men
out of all Israel, and went to seek David

00:15.440 --> 00:17.480
and his men upon the rocks of the wild
goats.

00:17.720 --> 00:21.200
6 And he came to the sheep coats by the
way, where was a cave.

00:21.600 --> 00:25.980
7 And Saul went in to cover his feet,
and David and his men remained in the

00:25.980 --> 00:26.780
sides of the cave.

00:27.200 --> 00:31.700
And the men of David said unto him,
Behold the day of which the Lord said unto

00:31.700 --> 00:37.100
thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy
into thine hand, that thou mayest do to

00:37.100 --> 00:39.260
him as it shall seem good unto thee.

00:39.520 --> 00:43.340
Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of
Saul's robe privily.

00:44.440 --> 00:48.440
And it came to pass afterward that David's
heart smote him, because he had cut off

00:48.440 --> 00:49.120
Saul's skirt.

00:49.660 --> 00:53.120
And he said unto his men, The Lord forbid
that I should do this thing unto my

00:53.120 --> 00:57.820
master, the Lord's anointed, to stretch
forth mine hand against him, seeing he is

00:57.820 --> 00:58.760
the anointed of the Lord.

00:58.760 --> 01:02.940
So David stayed his servants with these
words, and suffered them not to rise

01:02.940 --> 01:03.580
against Saul.

01:04.280 --> 01:07.200
But Saul rose up out of the cave,
and went on his way.

01:07.920 --> 01:11.900
David also arose afterward, and went out
of the cave, and cried after Saul,

01:12.000 --> 01:13.240
saying, My lord the king!

01:13.420 --> 01:16.920
And when Saul looked behind him,
David stooped with his face to the earth,

01:17.000 --> 01:17.880
and bowed himself.

01:18.580 --> 01:22.920
And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest
thou men's words, saying, Behold,

01:23.060 --> 01:24.220
David seeketh thy hurt.

01:24.980 --> 01:29.640
Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how
that the Lord hath delivered thee today

01:29.640 --> 01:30.960
into mine hand in the cave.

01:31.620 --> 01:33.180
And some bade me kill thee.

01:34.020 --> 01:35.520
But mine eyes spared thee.

01:36.220 --> 01:40.600
And I said, I will not put forth mine hand
against my lord, for he is the Lord's

01:40.600 --> 01:40.900
anointed.

01:41.980 --> 01:46.880
Moreover, my father, see, yea,
see the skirt of thy robe in my hand.

01:47.780 --> 01:50.340
For in that I cut off the skirt of thy
robe, and killed thee not.

01:51.300 --> 01:55.220
Know thou, and see, that there is neither
evil nor transgression in mine hand,

01:55.400 --> 01:56.940
and I have not sinned against thee.

01:57.600 --> 02:00.180
Yet thou huntest my soul to take it.

02:01.380 --> 02:05.840
The Lord judge between me and thee,
and the Lord avenge me of thee.

02:06.880 --> 02:09.220
But mine hand shall not be upon thee.

02:10.340 --> 02:14.800
As saith the proverb of the ancients,
Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked.

02:15.760 --> 02:17.880
But mine hand shall not be upon thee.

02:19.080 --> 02:20.840
After whom is the king of Israel come out?

02:21.760 --> 02:23.360
After whom dost thou pursue?

02:24.360 --> 02:25.500
After a dead dog?

02:26.220 --> 02:27.100
After a flea?

02:28.020 --> 02:33.980
The Lord therefore be judge, and judge
between me and thee, and see, and plead my

02:33.980 --> 02:36.480
cause, and deliver me out of thine hand.

02:36.760 --> 02:40.620
And it came to pass, when David had made
an end of speaking these words unto Saul,

02:40.880 --> 02:43.940
that Saul said, Is this thy voice,
my son David?

02:44.260 --> 02:46.360
And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.

02:46.520 --> 02:51.180
And he said to David, Thou art more
righteous than I, for thou hast rewarded

02:51.180 --> 02:54.340
me good, whereas I have rewarded thee
evil.

02:54.340 --> 02:58.560
And thou hast showed this day how that
thou hast dealt well with me.

02:59.240 --> 03:03.880
For as much as when the Lord had delivered
me into thine hand, thou killest me not.

03:04.520 --> 03:07.580
For if a man find his enemy, will he let
him go well away?

03:08.220 --> 03:12.340
Wherefore the Lord reward thee good,
for that thou hast done unto me this day.

03:13.020 --> 03:17.760
And now behold, I know well that thou
shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom

03:17.760 --> 03:20.300
of Israel shall be established in thine
hand.

03:20.300 --> 03:25.720
Swear now, therefore unto me by the Lord,
that thou wilt not cut off my seed after

03:25.720 --> 03:29.460
me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name
out of my father's house.

03:29.620 --> 03:31.240
And David swear unto Saul.

03:31.960 --> 03:32.980
And Saul went home.

03:33.480 --> 03:35.900
But David and his men gat them up unto the
hold.
