1 Samuel 24:17-22

¹⁷and said to David, “You are more righteous than I, for you have rewarded me with good, though I have rewarded you with evil.

¹⁸And you have shown this day how well you have dealt with me; for when the LORD delivered me into your hand, you did not kill me.

¹⁹When a man finds his enemy, does he let him go away unharmed? May the LORD reward you with good for what you have done for me this day.

²⁰Now I know for sure that you will be king, and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hands.

²¹So now, swear to me by the LORD that you will not cut off my descendants or wipe out my name from my father’s house.”

²²So David gave his oath to Saul. Then Saul returned home, but David and his men went up to the stronghold.
