1 SAMUEL 24:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I: for thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil.”
Therefore let the LORD be judge and decide between me and you, and may he see and plead my cause and vindicate me from your hand — David's *v'YHWH yihiye shofet v'yadin beinenu*, let the LORD be judge, returns to his invocation of divine arbitration. The *v'yere et rivee uyadin rishe'i*, see my cause and judge my right, appeals to the cosmic court, the tribunal before which all earthly power is relativized.
