Saul said, “I did the wrong thing. You are good to me. I can’t do wrong to you again. You didn’t kill me, but I truly did wrong. I was a stupid fool. You are like my son. Come back to me.”
Then Saul said, “I did wrong things. I didn’t listen to God or to you. I was afraid of the soldiers, and I listened only to them.
He said to David, “You are a good man, I am not. You are good to me, but I am giving you a hard time.
David said, “Your spear is here. Send a man to come and get it.
That’s why I want him to be good to me. I want him to keep me alive, just like I was good to you today, and did not kill you.”
