Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:8 - Afterward David also arose and went out of the cave, and called after Saul, “My lord the king!” And when Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth and paid homage.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:10 - Behold, this day your eyes have seen how the LORD gave you today into my hand in the cave. And some told me to kill you, but I spared you.[fn] I said, ‘I will not put out my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD's anointed.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:11 - See, my father, see the corner of your robe in my hand. For by the fact that I cut off the corner of your robe and did not kill you, you may know and see that there is no wrong or treason in my hands. I have not sinned against you, though you hunt my life to take it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:15 - May the LORD therefore be judge and give sentence between me and you, and see to it and plead my cause and deliver me from your hand.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:6 - And thus you shall greet him: ‘Peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:12 - So David's young men turned away and came back and told him all this.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:17 - Now therefore know this and consider what you should do, for harm is determined against our master and against all his house, and he is such a worthless man that one cannot speak to him.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:33 - Blessed be your discretion, and blessed be you, who have kept me this day from bloodguilt and from working salvation with my own hand!
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:34 - For as surely as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, who has restrained me from hurting you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, truly by morning there had not been left to Nabal so much as one male.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:35 - Then David received from her hand what she had brought him. And he said to her, “Go up in peace to your house. See, I have obeyed your voice, and I have granted your petition.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:39 - When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed be the LORD who has avenged the insult I received at the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from wrongdoing.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:8 - Then Abishai said to David, “God has given your enemy into your hand this day. Now please let me pin him to the earth with one stroke of the spear, and I will not strike him twice.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:10 - And David said, “As the LORD lives, the LORD will strike him, or his day will come to die, or he will go down into battle and perish.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:23 - The LORD rewards every man for his righteousness and his faithfulness, for the LORD gave you into my hand today, and I would not put out my hand against the LORD's anointed.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:1 - Then David said in his heart, “Now I shall perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should escape to the land of the Philistines.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:4 - And when it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath, he no longer sought him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:11 - And David would leave neither man nor woman alive to bring news to Gath, thinking, “lest they should tell about us and say, ‘So David has done.'” Such was his custom all the while he lived in the country of the Philistines.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:4 - But the commanders of the Philistines were angry with him. And the commanders of the Philistines said to him, “Send the man back, that he may return to the place to which you have assigned him. He shall not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become an adversary to us. For how could this fellow reconcile himself to his lord? Would it not be with the heads of the men here?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:7 - So go back now; and go peaceably, that you may not displease the lords of the Philistines.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:9 - And Achish answered David and said, “I know that you are as blameless in my sight as an angel of God. Nevertheless, the commanders of the Philistines have said, ‘He shall not go up with us to the battle.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:10 - Now then rise early in the morning with the servants of your lord who came with you, and start early in the morning, and depart as soon as you have light.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:21 - Then David came to the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to follow David, and who had been left at the brook Besor. And they went out to meet David and to meet the people who were with him. And when David came near to the people he greeted them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:23 - But David said, “You shall not do so, my brothers, with what the LORD has given us. He has preserved us and given into our hand the band that came against us.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:24 - Who would listen to you in this matter? For as his share is who goes down into the battle, so shall his share be who stays by the baggage. They shall share alike.”
