if I have repaid my friend with evil or plundered my enemy without cause,

我若以恶报那与我交好的人（连那无故与我为敌的，我也救了他），

倘吾曾為此。有罪在雙腕。

if I have repaid my ally with evil or without cause have robbed my foe—

Or I have done evil to my friend. Or I have robbed my enemy without any reason.

if I have betrayed a friend or plundered my enemy without cause,

if I have done harm to one at peace with me or have plundered my adversary without cause,

If I have done evil to my friend, Or have plundered my enemy for no reason,

If I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me, Or have plundered my enemy without cause,

If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me( Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine adversary;)

if I have done harm to one at peace with me or have plundered my adversary without cause,

If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me;( yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

or have wronged my ally, or helped his lawless enemy,

if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me( yes, I have delivered him who without cause was my adversary),

So David persuaded his men with these words and did not permit them to attack Saul. And Saul rose up and left the cave and went on his way.

My companion stretched out his hand against his friends; he violated his covenant.

So they reward me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

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. I said,‘ I will not put out my hand against my lord, for he is the Lord’s anointed.’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.May the Lord judge between me and you, may the Lord avenge me against you, but my hand shall not be against you.As the proverb of the ancients says,‘ Out of the wicked comes wickedness.’ But my hand shall not be against you.After whom has the king of Israel come out? After whom do you pursue? After a dead dog! After a flea!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.”

The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, and the Lord tests hearts.

They had gone only a short distance from the city. Now Joseph said to his steward,“ Up, follow after the men, and when you overtake them, say to them,‘ Why have you repaid evil for good?

But David said to Abishai,“ Do not destroy him, for who can put out his hand against the Lord’s anointed and be guiltless?”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.The Lord forbid that I should put out my hand against the Lord’s anointed. But take now the spear that is at his head and the jar of water, and let us go.”So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul’s head, and they went away. No man saw it or knew it, nor did any awake, for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the Lord had fallen upon them.Then David went over to the other side and stood far off on the top of the hill, with a great space between them.And David called to the army, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying,“ Will you not answer, Abner?” Then Abner answered,“ Who are you who calls to the king?”And David said to Abner,“ Are you not a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy the king your lord.This thing that you have done is not good. As the Lord lives, you deserve to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, the Lord’s anointed. And now see where the king’s spear is and the jar of water that was at his head.”Saul recognized David’s voice and said,“ Is this your voice, my son David?” And David said,“ It is my voice, my lord, O king.”

Then Saul said,“ I have sinned. Return, my son David, for I will no more do you harm, because my life was precious in your eyes this day. Behold, I have acted foolishly, and have made a great mistake.”

Then Ahimelech answered the king,“ And who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, and captain over your bodyguard, and honored in your house?

Should good be repaid with evil? Yet they have dug a pit for my life. Remember how I stood before you to speak good for them, to turn away your wrath from them.Therefore deliver up their children to famine; give them over to the power of the sword; let their wives become childless and widowed. May their men meet death by pestilence, their youths be struck down by the sword in battle.

Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah and came and said before Jonathan,“ What have I done? What is my guilt? And what is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?”

He said to David,“ You are more righteous than I, for you have repaid me good, whereas I have repaid you evil.And you have declared this day how you have dealt well with me, in that you did not kill me when the Lord put me into your hands.For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away safe? So may the Lord reward you with good for what you have done to me this day.

Behold, as your life was precious this day in my sight, so may my life be precious in the sight of the Lord, and may he deliver me out of all tribulation.”

Please forgive the trespass of your servant. For the Lord will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord is fighting the battles of the Lord, and evil shall not be found in you so long as you live.If men rise up to pursue you and to seek your life, the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living in the care of the Lord your God. And the lives of your enemies he shall sling out as from the hollow of a sling.

And Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him,“ Let not the king sin against his servant David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his deeds have brought good to you.For he took his life in his hand and he struck down the Philistine, and the Lord worked a great salvation for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood by killing David without cause?”
