And Saul arose, ^[a]left the cave, and went on his way.

¹⁴ Then David said to him, “How is it you were not afraid ^(A)to send forth your hand to destroy the anointed of Yahweh?”

¹⁶ And David said to him, “^(A)Your blood is on your head, for ^(B)your mouth has answered against you, saying, ‘I have put the anointed of Yahweh to death.’”
