In context

9And said to Saul, “Why do you listen to the words of men who say, ‘Look, David intends to harm you’?

10Behold, this day you have seen with your own eyes that the LORD delivered you into my hand in the cave. I was told to kill you, but I spared you and said, ‘I will not lift my hand against my lord, since he is the LORD’s anointed.’

11See, my father, look at the corner of your robe in my hand. For I cut it off, but I did not kill you. Know and see that there is no evil or rebellion in my hands. I have not sinned against you, even though you are hunting me down to take my life.

12May the LORD judge between you and me, and may the LORD take vengeance on you, but my hand will never be against you.

13As the old proverb says, ‘Wickedness proceeds from the wicked.’ But my hand will never be against you.
