Contextual Overview
16Now it happened that when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, Saul said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" Then Saul lifted up his voice and wept. 17And he said to David, "You are more righteous than I; for you have dealt well with me, while I have dealt evil with you. 18And you have declared today that you have done good to me, that Yahweh surrendered me into your hand, and yet you did not kill me. 19For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away safely? May Yahweh therefore reward you with good in return for what you have done to me this day. 20So now, behold, I know that you will surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hand. 21So now swear to me by Yahweh that you will not cut off my seed after me and that you will not destroy my name from my father's household." 22So David swore to Saul. And Saul went to his home, but David and his men went up to the fortress.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And thou hast showed this day how that thou hast dealt well with me,.... The cutting off of the skirt of his robe only, when his life was in his hand, was a clear proof and full demonstration of his dealing well with him, and might sufficiently convince him he had no ill design upon him:
forasmuch as when the Lord had delivered me into thine hand, thou killedst me not; this was a plain proof and evidence of his kindness to him, which he owns, and also the providence of God in this affair, which had delivered him into the hands of David; by which he might see the Lord was for David, and against him, and might have deterred him from seeking David's hurt hereafter; but it did not.
