In context

15May the LORD therefore be judge, and give sentence between me and you, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of your hand.”

16It came to pass, when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, “Is that your voice, my son David?” Saul lifted up his voice and wept.

17He said to David, “You are more righteous than I; for you have done good to me, whereas I have done evil to you.

18You have declared today how you have dealt well with me, because when the LORD had delivered me up into your hand, you didn’t kill me.

19For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away unharmed? Therefore may the LORD reward you good for that which you have done to me today.
