"Then the men of David said to him, 'This is the day of which the Lord said to you, "Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, that you may do to him as it seems good to you."' And David arose and secretly cut off a corner of Saul’s robe. Now it happened afterward that David’s heart troubled him because he had cut Saul’s robe. And he said to his men, 'The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the Lord’s anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the Lord,'" 1 Samuel 24:4-6, NKJV. #SpirituallySmitten
The word 'troubled' in this passage is a translation from the original English word 'smote,' which from the Hebrew means to 'lightly or severely' strike; it is often used in the scriptures to denote an unction from the spirit realm by God to impress an inner feeling in the area of discernment, as a physical, symbolic striking in the natural to illicit a supernatural response, or vice versa, as a spiritual blow which brings about a reaction in the flesh.
