וַיְשַׁסַּ֨ע דָּוִ֤ד אֶת־אֲנָשָׁיו֙ בַּדְּבָרִ֔ים וְלֹ֥א נְתָנָ֖ם לָק֣וּם אֶל־שָׁא֑וּל וְשָׁא֛וּל קָ֥ם מֵהַמְּעָרָ֖ה וַיֵּ֥לֶךְ בַּדָּֽרֶךְ׃ (ס)
At pinigilan ni David ang kanyang mga tauhan sa pamamagitan ng mga salitang ito, at hindi niya sila pinahintulutang tumindig laban kay Saul. At tumindig si Saul at lumabas ng yungib, at nagpatuloy sa kanyang daan.

But (no)! I have delivered him that without cause was my enemy: – Not merely have I not requited evil unto him (who was) at peace with me, but (on the contrary) I have delivered him who without cause was my enemy. But to no purpose did I rescue him as indeed he rescued Saul from the power of Abishai, who, had he not withheld him, was about to kill him, as he said: “Let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not smite him the second time” (i Sam. 26:8); and so of the occasion when he was in the cave it is said: “so David checked his men with these words and suffered them not to rise against Saul” (i Sam. 24:7). And the waw in ואחלצה (“but [lit. and] I have delivered”) is like the waw (in ועבדיך in the verse) “but (and) thy servants came to buy food” (Gen. 42:10), of which (passage) the interpretation is: “It is not, my lord, as thou sayest, that we are spies; but thy servants are come to buy food.”
