After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.

Verse 14 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.

Wie man sagt nach dem alten Sprichwort: "Von Gottlosen kommt Untugend." Aber meine Hand soll nicht über dir sein.
¿Tras quién ha salido el rey de Israel? ¿a quién persigues? ¿a un perro muerto? ¿a una pulga?
¿Tras quién ha salido el rey de Israel? ¿A quién persigues? ¿A un perro muerto? ¿A una sola pulga?
Contre qui le roi d'Israël s'est-il mis en marche? Qui poursuis-tu? Un chien mort, une puce!
Dietro a cui è uscito il re di Israele? chi vai tu perseguitando? un can morto, una pulce.
Após quem saiu o rei de Israel? A quem persegues? A um cão morto? A uma pulga? 15 O SENHOR, porém, será juiz, e julgará entre mim e ti, e verá, e advogará a minha causa, e me defenderá da tua mão.
以色列 王出來要尋找誰呢?你要追趕誰呢?不過是一條死狗,一隻跳蚤而已。
