1 Samuel 26:20-22
New English Translation
20 Now don’t let my blood fall to the ground away from the Lord’s presence, for the king of Israel has gone out to look for a flea the way one looks for a partridge[a] in the hill country.”
21 Saul replied, “I have sinned. Come back, my son David. I won’t harm you anymore, for you treated my life with value[b] this day. I have behaved foolishly and have made a very terrible mistake!”[c] 22 David replied, “Here is the king’s spear! Let one of your servants cross over and get it.
