1 Samuel 24:14 in Context — 1 Samuel 24

12 Y mira, padre mío, mira aún la orilla de tu manto en mi mano: porque yo corté la orilla de tu manto, y no te maté. Conoce pues, y ve que no hay mal ni traición en mi mano, ni he pecado contra ti; con todo, tú andas á caza de mi vida para quitármela.

13 Juzgue Jehová entre mí y ti, y véngueme de ti Jehová: empero mi mano no será contra ti.

14 Como dice el proverbio de los antiguos: De los impíos saldrá la impiedad: así que mi mano no será contra ti.

15 ¿Tras quién ha salido el rey de Israel? ¿á quién persigues? ¿á un perro muerto? ¿á una pulga?

16 Jehová pues será juez, y él juzgará entre mí y ti. El vea, y sustente mi causa, y me defienda de tu mano.
