13. As the old proverb goes, ‘Evil deeds come from evildoers!’ but I won’t lift a hand against you.
14. So who is Israel’s king coming after? Who are you chasing? A dead dog? A single flea?
15. May the Lord be the judge and decide between you and me. May he see what has happened, argue my case, and vindicate me against you!"
16. As soon as David finished saying all this to Saul, Saul said, "David, my son, is that your voice?" Then he broke down in tears,
17. telling David, "You are more righteous than I am because you have treated me generously, but I have treated you terribly.
18. Today you’ve told me the good you have done for me—how the Lord handed me over to you, but how you didn’t kill me.
