He said to his men, “God picked Saul to be the big boss of Israel, so I can’t do wrong to him. I can’t touch him, no way.”
But I’m telling you to do more than that. You have to love your enemies too. And if anyone makes trouble for you, pray to God and ask him to be good to them.
If anyone makes trouble for you, don’t ask God to punish them, but ask him to help them.
If somebody does something bad to you, don’t try to do payback to them, but always try to be good to each other and to everyone else too.
In that way, David told them not to hurt Saul. Soon after that, Saul stood up and went out of the cave.
