1 Samuel, 24

11. You see for yourself today that the LORD just now delivered you into my grasp in the cave. I had some thought of killing you, but I took pity on you instead. I decided, 'I will not raise a hand against my lord, for he is the LORD'S anointed and a father to me.'

Chapter 24 of 1 Samuel narrates the story of David forgiving Saul. After fleeing Saul for a while, David had the opportunity to kill him when Saul entered a cave where David and his men were hidden. However, David chose to save Saul's life, even when his men encouraged him to kill him. Here are five verses related to the topics covered in this chapter:

Proverbs 19:11 - "Man's prudence makes him delay in angry, and his glory is to forget offenses." This verse highlights David's wisdom in choosing to forgive Saul instead of taking revenge.

Matthew 5:44 - "But I say unto you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." This verse shows the message of love and forgiveness that Jesus taught, which David seems to have applied to forgive Saul.

Romans 12:19 - "You shall not avenge yourselves, beloved, but give the wrath of God, for it is written, My is revenge; I will reward, say the Lord." This verse points out that revenge should not be sought by individuals, but by divine justice.

Proverbs 25:21-22-"If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat, and if he thirsty, give him water to drink, for thou shalt huddle alive embers on his head, and the Lord shall reward you. " This verse encourages to love and serve enemies instead of seeking revenge.

Colossians 3:13-"SUPPORT ONE OTHERS, FORGIVE TO YOU SEEFLY If anyone has a complaint against another. As the Lord has forgiven you, forgive you too." This verse highlights the importance of forgiveness and mercy among people, as David demonstrated by forgiving Saul.
