When Saul recognized David’s voice, he said, “Is that your voice, my son David?” David replied, “Yes, it’s my voice, my lord the king.”
He recognized it and exclaimed, “It is my son’s tunic! A wild animal has eaten him! Joseph has surely been torn to pieces!”
When David finished speaking these words to Saul, Saul said, “Is that your voice, my son David?” Then Saul wept loudly.
He said to David, “You are more innocent than I, for you have treated me well, even though I have tried to harm you!
Afterward David got up and went out of the cave. He called out after Saul, “My lord, O king!” When Saul looked behind him, David kneeled down and bowed with his face to the ground.
