And see the skirt of your robe in my hand; for in that I cut off the skirt of your robe and did not kill you, you may know and see that there is no evil or transgression in my hand, and I have not transgressed against you — David's *v're'eh et k'naf me'ilcha b'yadi* (see the skirt of your robe in my hand) shows physical proof of his restraint. The *ki lo hashevti et yad'cha* (I did not stretch forth my hand) asserts his innocence of the charges Saul has made.
