1 Samuel 24:11
World English Bible, British Edition

Moreover, my father, behold, yes, see the skirt of your robe in my
hand; for in that I cut off the skirt of your robe and didn’t kill you, know and see that there is neither
evil nor disobedience in my hand. I have not sinned against you, though you hunt for my life to take it.
