22 David answered, “Here is your spear. Let one of your young men come here and get it.

23 The Lord rewards every man for the things he does right and for his loyalty to him. The Lord put you into my power today. But I wouldn’t harm the Lord’s appointed king.

24 I respected your life today. Surely, in the same way, the Lord will respect my life. Surely he will save me from all trouble.”
