21 Saül dit: J’ai péché; reviens, mon fils David, car je ne te ferai plus de mal, puisqu’en ce jour ma vie a été précieuse à tes yeux. J’ai agi comme un insensé, et j’ai fait une grande faute.

22 David répondit: Voici la lance du roi; que l’un de tes gens vienne la prendre.

23 L’Éternel rendra à chacun selon sa justice et sa fidélité; car l’Éternel t’avait livré aujourd’hui entre mes mains, et je n’ai pas voulu porter la main sur l’oint de l’Éternel.

24 Et comme aujourd’hui ta vie a été d’un grand prix à mes yeux, ainsi ma vie sera d’un grand prix aux yeux de l’Éternel et il me délivrera de toute angoisse.
