David Is Kind to Saul
1 Samuel 24:1–22 Our story comes from the Bible. It is found in the part of the Bible called 1 Samuel ("First Samuel"). It is the first of two books in the Bible named after Samuel.

Saul did not know David was there. David’s men whispered, “This is your chance! You can hurt Saul!” But David did not want to hurt Saul. Instead, David quietly cut a small piece of Saul’s robe. Even that made David feel bad. David said, “I will not hurt Saul.” Later, David called out to Saul and showed him the piece of the robe.
