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 was delighted, and David distressed, when some people from Ziph told Saul where David was hiding (19-24; see Psalms 54:0). David was saved from certain capture when Saul left hurriedly to deal with another attack by the raiding Philistines (25-29).
