21. Then Saul said, “I have sinned. Come back, David my son. Today you respected my life. So I will not try to hurt you. I have acted foolishly. I have made a big mistake.”
22. David answered, “Here is your spear. Let one of your young men come here and get it.
23. The Lord rewards every man for the things he does right and for his loyalty to him. The Lord put you into my power today. But I wouldn’t harm the Lord’s appointed king.
24. I respected your life today. Surely, in the same way, the Lord will respect my life. Surely he will save me from all trouble.”
25. Then Saul said to David, “You are blessed, my son David. You will do great things and succeed.”So David went on his way, and Saul went back home.
