Moreover, 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.

ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૨૪:૧૧
મારા પિતા, જો, મારા હાથમાં તમારા ઝભ્ભાની કોર છે. મેં તમારા ઝભ્ભાની કોર કાપી લીધી પણ તમને મારી નાખ્યા નહિ, તે ઉપરથી સમજો કે મારા હાથમાં દુષ્ટતા કે રાજદ્રોહ નથી, મેં તમારી વિરુદ્ધ પાપ કર્યું નથી, જો કે તમે મારો જીવ લેવા માટે મારી પાછળ લાગ્યા છો.
हिन्दी1 शमूएल २४:११
फिर, हे मेरे पिता , देख, अपने बागे की छोर मेरे हाथ में देख; मैंने तेरे बागे की छोर तो काट ली, परन्तु तुझे घात न किया; इससे निश्चय करके जान ले, कि मेरे मन में कोई बुराई या अपराध का सोच नहीं है। मैंने तेरे विरुद्ध कोई अपराध नहीं किया, परन्तु तू मेरे प्राण लेने को मानो उसका अहेर करता रहता है।

In context

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.

13As the proverb of the ancients says, ‘Out of the wicked comes wickedness;’ but my hand will not be on you.
