18. 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.
19. 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.
20. And now, behold, I know that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.
21. Swear to me therefore by the Lord that you will not cut off my offspring after me, and that you will not destroy my name out of my father’s house.”
22. And David swore this to Saul. Then Saul went home, but David and his men went up to the stronghold.
