1. Samuelsbok 24,3

DavidSaul

1 Da Saul vendte tilbake fra å forfølge filisterne, ble det sagt til ham: «Se, David er i ørkenen ved En-Gedi.»

2 Da tok Saul tre tusen utvalgte menn fra hele Israel og dro for å lete etter David og hans menn foran Steinbukk-klippene.

Han kom til saueinnhegningene langs veien, der det var en hule; og Saul gikk inn for å gjøre sitt fornødne. Nå satt David og hans menn i de innerste delene av hulen.

4 Davids menn sa til ham: «Se, dette er dagen som Herren har sagt til deg: ‘Se, jeg vil gi din fiende i din hånd, og du skal gjøre med ham som det synes godt for deg.’» Da reiste David seg og skar hemmelig av kanten på Sauls kappe.

5 Men etterpå følte David ingen glede over å ha skåret av kanten på Sauls kappe.
