Behold, today your eyes have seen how the LORD had delivered you today into my hand in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I spared you. I said, ‘I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD’s anointed.’

ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૨૪:૧૦
આજે તમારી નજરે તમે જોયું છે કે આપણે ગુફામાં હતા ત્યારે કેવી રીતે ઈશ્વરે તમને મારા હાથમાં સોંપ્યાં હતા. કેટલાકે તમને મારી નાખવાને મને કહ્યું, પણ મેં તમને જીવતદાન દીધું. મેં કહ્યું કે, ‘હું મારો હાથ મારા માલિકની વિરુદ્ધ નહિ નાખું; કેમ કે તે ઈશ્વરના અભિષિક્ત છે.’
हिन्दी1 शमूएल २४:१०
देख, आज तूने अपनी आँखों से देखा है कि यहोवा ने आज गुफा में तुझे मेरे हाथ सौंप दिया था; और किसी किसी ने तो मुझसे तुझे मारने को कहा था, परन्तु मुझे तुझ पर तरस आया; और मैंने कहा, ‘मैं अपने प्रभु पर हाथ न उठाऊँगा; क्योंकि वह यहोवा का अभिषिक्त है।’

In context

8David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave and cried after Saul, saying, “My lord the king!” When Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth, and showed respect.

9David said to Saul, “Why do you listen to men’s words, saying, ‘Behold, David seeks to harm you’?

10Behold, today your eyes have seen how the LORD had delivered you today into my hand in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I spared you. I said, ‘I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD’s anointed.’

11Moreover, my father, behold, yes, see the skirt of your robe in my hand; for in that I cut off the skirt of your robe and didn’t kill you, know and see that there is neither evil nor disobedience in my hand. I have not sinned against you, though you hunt for my life to take it.

12May the LORD judge between me and you, and may the LORD avenge me of you; but my hand will not be on you.
