1 Samuel 26:17-25 17 Then Saul recognized Davids voice and said, Is this your voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord the king. 18 He also said, Why then is my lord pursuing his servant? For what have I done? Or what evil is in my hand? 19 Now therefore, please let my lord the king listen to the words of his servant. If the LORD has stirred you up against me, let Him accept an offering; but if it is men, cursed are they before the LORD, for they have driven me out today so that I would have no attachment with the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods. 20 Now then, do not let my blood fall to the ground away from the presence of the LORD; for the king of Israel has come out to search for a single flea, just as one hunts a partridge in the mountains. 21 Then Saul said, I have sinned. Return, my son David, for I will not harm you again because my life was precious in your sight this day. Behold, I have played the fool and have committed a serious error. 22 David replied, Behold the spear of the king! Now let one of the young men come over and take it. 23 The LORD will repay each man for his righteousness and his faithfulness; for the LORD delivered you into my hand today, but I refused to stretch out my hand against the LORDS anointed. 24 Now behold, as your life was highly valued in my sight this day, so may my life be highly valued in the sight of the LORD, and may He deliver me from all distress. 25 Then Saul said to David, Blessed are you, my son David; you will both accomplish much and surely prevail. So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place. DAVID PROCLAIMS HIS INNOCENCE I. THE QUESTIONS (17-18—Centered On Why Saul Was Pursuing Him) II. THE PLEA (19-20—Stop Hunting Me) III.
