The LORD render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; for the LORD delivered thee into my hand to day, but I would not stretch forth mine hand against the LORD's anointed.

Verse 23 is found in chapter 26 of 1 Samuel. Saul again acknowledges his sin and admits that David has acted righteously. David returns the spear and affirms that each person will receive according to his righteousness and faithfulness. Saul recognizes that David will prosper. Nevertheless, their final separation shows that Saul’s verbal acknowledgment does not produce lasting restoration. The narrative maintains the tension between temporary repentance and genuine transformation.

Der HERR aber wird einem jeglichen vergelten nach seiner Gerechtigkeit und seinem Glauben. Denn der HERR hat dich heute in meine Hand gegeben; aber ich wollte meine Hand nicht an den Gesalbten des HERRN legen.
Y Jehová pague a cada uno su justicia y su lealtad: que Jehová te había entregado hoy en mi mano, mas yo no quise extender mi mano sobre el ungido de Jehová.
L'Eternel rendra à chacun selon sa justice et sa fidélité; car l'Eternel t'avait livré aujourd'hui entre mes mains, et je n'ai pas voulu porter la main sur l'oint de l'Eternel.
E renda il Signore a ciascuno secondo la sua giustizia e la sua lealtà; conciossiachè il Signore ti avesse oggi messo nelle mie mani, e pure io non ho voluto metter la mano sopra l’Unto del Signore.
O SENHOR, porém, pague a cada um a sua justiça e a sua lealdade; pois o SENHOR te entregou hoje na minha mão, porém não quis estender a minha mão contra o ungido do SENHOR.
今日耶和華將王交在我手裏,我卻不肯伸手害耶和華的受膏者。耶和華必照各人的公義誠實報應他。
