1 Samuel24:7
7 So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul: but Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.
Heb. cut, or clave, or divided, or cut them off. The word notes both the eagerness and violence of David's men in prosecuting their desire, and David's resoluteness in opposing them, as it were, by force. Wherein he shews great Piety, and Generosity, and Loyalty to Saul.
