10 Lo, this day have thine eyes seen how that Jehovah hath given thee to-day into my hand in the cave; and 'one' said to slay thee, and 'mine eye' hath pity on thee, and I say, I do not put forth my hand against my lord, for the anointed of Jehovah he 'is'.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Samuel 24:10
Commentary on 1 Samuel 24:8-15
(Read 1 Samuel 24:8-15)
David was falsely charged with seeking Saul's hurt; he shows Saul that God's providence had given him opportunity to do it. And it was upon a good principle that he refused to do it. He declares his fixed resolution never to be his own avenger. If men wrong us, God will right us, at farthest, in the judgment of the great day.
