"You are more righteous than I," he said.
"You have treated me well, but I have treated you badly.
You have just now told me of the good you did to me; the Lord delivered me into your hands, but you did not kill me.
When a man finds his enemy, does he let him get away unharmed?
May the Lord reward you for the way you treated me today.
I know that you will surely be king and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hands."
I Samuel 24:17-20, where David spares Saul's life in the cave near the Crags of the Wild Goats
