“Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee: but mine eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my lord; for he is the LORD'S anointed.”
King James Version (KJV)
24:10 Mine eye - The eye is said to spare, because it affects the heart with pity, and moves a man to spare.
