1Sa 24:6 | KD | STEP | With all the greater firmness, therefore, did he repel the suggestions of his men: “ Far be it to me from Jehovah (on Jehovah’s account: see at ), that (אם, a particle denoting an oath) I should do such a thing to my lord, the anointed of Jehovah, to stretch out my hand against him .” These words of David show clearly enough that no word of Jehovah had come to him to do as he liked with Saul.

‏ 1 Samuel 24:6

With all the greater firmness, therefore, did he repel the suggestions of his men: “Far be it to me from Jehovah (on Jehovah’s account: see at Jos 22:29), that (אם, a particle denoting an oath) I should do such a thing to my lord, the anointed of Jehovah, to stretch out my hand against him.” These words of David show clearly enough that no word of Jehovah had come to him to do as he liked with Saul.
