What is happening here?
Saul enters a cave at En-gedi unaware that David and his men are hiding inside. David’s men interpret the opportunity as God’s permission to kill Saul, but David only cuts off the skirt of Saul’s robe and is immediately troubled even by that act. After Saul leaves, David reveals himself, proves that he spared Saul, and appeals to the LORD as judge rather than taking vengeance into his own hands.
