21 Então disse Saul: Pequei: volta-te, filho meu Davi, que nenhum mal te farei mais, pois que minha vida foi estimada hoje em teus olhos. Eis que eu agi loucamente, e errei em grande maneira.

22 E Davi respondeu, e disse: Eis que a lança do rei; passe aqui um dos criados, e tome-a.

23 E o SENHOR pague a cada um sua justiça e sua lealdade: que o SENHOR havia te entregue hoje em minha mão, mas eu não quis estender minha mão sobre o ungido do SENHOR.

24 E eis que, como tua vida foi estimada hoje em meus olhos, assim seja minha vida estimada nos olhos do SENHOR, e me livre de toda aflição.
