1 Samuel 24:7 in Context — 1 Samuel 24

5 Entonces los de David le dijeron: He aquí el día de que te ha dicho Jehová: He aquí que entrego tu enemigo en tus manos, y harás con él como te pareciere. Y levantóse David, y calladamente cortó la orilla del manto de Saúl.

6 Después de lo cual el corazón de David le golpeaba, porque había cortado la orilla del manto de Saúl.

7 Y dijo á los suyos: Jehová me guarde de hacer tal cosa contra mi señor, el ungido de Jehová, que yo extienda mi mano contra él; porque es el ungido de Jehová.

8 Así quebrantó David á los suyos con palabras, y no les permitió que se levantasen contra Saúl. Y Saúl, saliendo de la cueva, fuése su camino.

9 También David se levantó después, y saliendo de la cueva dió voces á las espaldas de Saúl, diciendo: ¡Mi señor el rey! Y como Saúl miró atrás, David inclinó su rostro á tierra, é hizo reverencia.
