ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૨૪:૮
ત્યાર પછી, દાઉદ પણ ગુફામાંથી બહાર નીકળ્યો, પછી શાઉલને બોલાવ્યો: “હે મારા માલિક રાજા.” જયારે શાઉલે પોતાની પાછળ જોયું, ત્યારે દાઉદે પોતાનું મુખ જમીન તરફ રાખીને સાષ્ટાંગ દડ્વંત પ્રણામ કર્યા અને તેને માન આપ્યું.
हिन्दी1 शमूएल २४:८
उसके बाद दाऊद भी उठकर गुफा से निकला और शाऊल को पीछे से पुकारके बोला, “हे मेरे प्रभु, हे राजा।” जब शाऊल ने पीछे मुड़कर देखा, तब दाऊद ने भूमि की ओर सिर झुकाकर दण्डवत् की।

In context

6He said to his men, “The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, the LORD’s anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, since he is the LORD’s anointed.”

7So David checked his men with these words, and didn’t allow them to rise against Saul. Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.

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.’
