1 Samuel 19:4-5
4And Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Let not the king asin against his servant David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his deeds have brought good to you. 5For bhe took his life in his hand cand he struck down the Philistine, dand the Lord worked a great salvation for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against einnocent blood by killing David without cause?”1 Samuel 20:32
32Then Jonathan answered Saul his father, f“Why should he be put to death? What has he done?”1 Samuel 24:11
11See, my father, see the corner of your robe in my hand. For by the fact that I cut off the corner of your robe and did not kill you, you may know and see that gthere is no wrong or treason in my hands. I have not sinned against you, though hyou hunt my life to take it.1 Samuel 26:23
23 iThe Lord rewards every man for his righteousness and his faithfulness, for the Lord gave you into my hand today, and I would not put out my hand against the Lord’s anointed.2 Samuel 22:23-25
23 jFor all his rules were before me,and from his statutes I did not turn aside.
24I was kblameless before him,
and I kept myself from guilt.
25 lAnd the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
according to my cleanness in his sight.
Proverbs 24:11-12
11 mRescue those who are being taken away to death;hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.
12If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,”
ndoes not he who oweighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who pkeeps watch over your soul know it,
and will he not repay man qaccording to his work?
Proverbs 31:8-9
8 rOpen your mouth for the mute,for the rights of all who are destitute. ▼
▼Hebrew are sons of passing away
9Open your mouth, tjudge righteously,
udefend the rights of vthe poor and needy.
