1 Samuel 26:17

---

← 1 Samuel 26:16	1 Samuel 26:17 (KJV)	1 Samuel 26:18 →
This thing [is] not good that thou hast done. [As] the LORD liveth, ye [are] worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the LORD'S anointed. And now see where the king's spear [is], and the cruse of water that [was] at his bolster.	And Saul knew David's voice, and said, [Is] this thy voice, my son David? And David said, [It is] my voice, my lord, O king.	And he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil [is] in mine hand?
