⁵ And afterward ^(A)David's heart struck him, because he had cut off a corner of Saul's robe.

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 ^(A)there is no wrong or treason in my hands. I have not sinned against you, though ^(B)you hunt my life to take it.

²⁰ And now, behold, ^(A)I know that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.
