1 SAMUEL 24:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And thou hast shewed this day how that thou hast dealt well with me: forasmuch as when the Lord had delivered me into thine hand, thou killedst me not.”
And when David finished speaking these words to Saul, Saul said, Is this your voice, David my son? — Saul's *va'yomer Shaul ha'colcha zot b'ni David*, is this your voice, my son, represents a moment of recognition and emotional breakthrough. The *b'ni*, my son, is language of kinship, tenderness, the re-establishment of the parental relationship that had been shattered by vendetta. Saul's emotion breaks through his armor of hatred.
