1 Samuel 24:5-10 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

5. Afterwards, David was sorry that he had even done that,

6-7. and he told his men, “Stop talking foolishly. We're not going to attack Saul. He's my king, and I pray that the Lord will keep me from doing anything to harm his chosen king.”Saul left the cave and started down the road.

8. Soon, David also got up and left the cave. “Your Majesty!” he shouted from a distance.Saul turned around to look. David bowed down very low

9. and said:Your Majesty, why do you listen to people who say that I'm trying to harm you?

10. You can see for yourself that the Lord gave me the chance to catch you in the cave today. Some of my men wanted to kill you, but I wouldn't let them do it. I told them, “I will not harm the Lord's chosen king!”
