*
And he came to the sheepcotes by the way ,
where was a cave ;
and Saul went in to cover his feet :
and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave .
*
And the men of David said unto him ,
Behold the day of which the LORD said unto thee ,
Behold ,
I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand ,
that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee .
Then David arose ,
and cut off the skirt of Saul '
s robe privily .
*
And it came to pass afterward ,
that David '
s heart smote him ,
because he had cut off Saul '
s skirt .
*
And he said unto his men ,
The LORD forbid that I should do this thing unto my master ,
the LORD '
S anointed ,
to stretch forth mine hand against him ,
seeing he is the anointed of the LORD .
*
So David stayed his servants with these words ,
and suffered them not to rise against Saul .
But Saul rose up out of the cave ,
and went on his way .
*
David also arose afterward ,
and went out of the cave ,
and cried after Saul ,
saying ,
My lord the king .
And when Saul looked behind him ,
David stooped with his face to the earth ,
and bowed himself .
