21. Then said Saul, “I have sinned. Return, my son David, for I will not harm you again, because my soul was precious in your eyes this day. I have acted foolishly and have seriously gone astray.”
22. David answered and said, “See, the king’s spear! Let one of the young men come over and get it.
23. The Lord requites to every man his right conduct and loyalty. So the Lord gave you into my hand today, but I am not willing to stretch my hand against the Lord’s anointed.
24. As your life was highly valued in my eyes this day, so may my life be highly valued in the eyes of the Lord, and may He rescue me out of all distress.”
25. Then Saul said to David, “Blessed are you, my son David. You will do great things, and will surely prevail.”So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
