I Samuel 24:11
The Scripture
(11) Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in mine hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take it.

David then showed Saul the cut robe as proof of his innocence, and Saul wept and acknowledged that David would surely become king.
