The men of David said to him, Behold, the day of which Yahweh said to you, Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe secretly.
Saul, who had disregarded God’s Law, became a deadly threat to David (1 Samuel 23:19-28). However, David, who regarded God’s Law, became a source of life to Saul (1 Samuel 23:29 to 1 Samuel 24:22) and to others in Israel (ch. 25).
