New International Version
1 Samuel 24:10-12
New International Version
10 This day you have seen with your own eyes how the Lord delivered you into my hands in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I spared(A) you; I said, ‘I will not lay my hand on my lord, because he is the Lord’s anointed.’ 11 See, my father, look at this piece of your robe in my hand! I cut(B) off the corner of your robe but did not kill you. See that there is nothing in my hand to indicate that I am guilty(C) of wrongdoing(D) or rebellion. I have not wronged(E) you, but you are hunting(F) me down to take my life.(G) 12 May the Lord judge(H) between you and me. And may the Lord avenge(I) the wrongs you have done to me, but my hand will not touch you.

1 Samuel 24:10-12
King James Version
10 Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the Lord had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee: but mine eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my lord; for he is the Lord's anointed.
11 Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in mine hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take it.
12 The Lord judge between me and thee, and the Lord avenge me of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.
