So, my father, look! Indeed, look at the edge of your robe in my hand! For by the fact that I cut off the edge of your robe but did not kill you, know and understand that there is no evil or rebellion in my hands, and I have not sinned against you, though you are lying in wait for my life, to take it.

我父乎、請觀爾裾在於我手、我既斷之、而不殺爾、可知我手無惡無過、爾雖獵取我命、而我未嘗獲罪於爾、

爾乃吾君父、第斷爾裾、今執於手以為證、我不加殺害、俾爾知我不犯上、初無不善。然爾遍索我、欲喪我命。

我父乎、請觀爾衣裾在我手、我割爾衣裾而不殺爾、爾由此可知可見我並無惡意、我未曾叛逆乎爾、未曾獲罪於爾、乃爾遍索我、欲害我命、

Now then, do not let my blood fall to the ground far from the presence of the Lord; for the king of Israel has come out to search for a single flea, just as one hunts a partridge in the mountains.”

So look, and learn about all the hiding places where he keeps himself hidden, and return to me with certainty, and I will go with you; and if he is in the land, I will search him out among all the thousands of Judah.”

David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul searched for him every day, but God did not hand him over to him.

But this has happened so that the word that is written in their Law will be fulfilled:‘ They hated Me for no reason.’

He also said,“ Why then is my lord pursuing his servant? For what have I done? Or what evil is in my hand?

Then his servants approached and spoke to him, saying,“ My father, had the prophet told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more then, when he says to you,‘ Wash, and be clean’?”

David set out and went, he and his men, and fatally struck two hundred men among the Philistines. Then David brought their foreskins, and they presented all two hundred of them to the king, so that he might become the king’s son in law. And Saul gave him his daughter Michal as a wife.

O Lord my God, if I have done this, If there is injustice in my hands,If I have done evil to my friend, Or have plundered my enemy for no reason,

They hunted our steps So that we could not walk in our streets; Our end drew near, Our days were finished For our end had come.

May a slanderer not endure on the earth; May evil hunt a violent person violently.”

A gentle answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.

and say,‘ This is what the Lord God says:“ Woe to the women who sew magic bands on all wrists and make veils for the heads of persons of every stature to capture souls! Will you capture the souls of My people, but keep the souls of others alive for yourselves?

And should my head be high, You would hunt me like a lion; And You would show Your power against me again.

The godly person has perished from the land, And there is no upright person among mankind. All of them lie in wait for bloodshed; Each of them hunts the other with a net.

For they hid their net for me without cause; Without cause they dug a pit for my soul.
