After David spared his life, Saul felt remorse and gratitude towards David, acknowledging that David had repaid him evil for good.
Saul promised David that he would not harm him again and asked for forgiveness for his mistakes.
David felt skeptical about Saul's promise, possibly due to Saul's history of pursuing him.

David hid from Saul in the wilderness to avoid being killed by Saul, who was seeking to take his life.
When Saul arrived in the wilderness where David was hiding, he went to the cave where David and his men were hiding.
Saul loved David and saw him as his son, referring to him as "my son David."
David chose not to hurt Saul because he considered it unrighteous to harm the Lord's anointed, even though Saul was pursuing him.
