Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee: but mine eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my lord; for he is the LORD's anointed.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 24 of 1 Samuel. David comes out of the cave and demonstrates to Saul that he could have killed him but chose to spare him. He appeals to God’s judgment rather than seeking to establish his innocence through violence. His statement about not stretching out his hand against the Lord’s anointed expresses respect for established authority, but does not imply approval of Saul’s conduct. David places the conflict under divine judgment rather than making himself judge and executioner of the king.
