## 1 Samuel 24:1-2 in Context (Verses 1–5 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/1-samuel/24/1) And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David *is* in the wilderness of En-gedi.*
 
 [2 ](/kjv/1-samuel/24/2) Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/1-samuel/24/3) And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where *was* a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/1-samuel/24/4) And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of which the LORD said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe privily.*
 
 [5 ](/kjv/1-samuel/24/5) And it came to pass afterward, that David’s heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul’s skirt.
 
[1 Samuel 23](/kjv/1-samuel/23) [1 Samuel 25](/kjv/1-samuel/25)
