1 Samuel 26:6-9

6Then answered DavidH1732 and saidH559 to AhimelechH288 the HittiteH2850, and to AbishaiH52 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, brotherH251 to JoabH3097, sayingH559, Who will goH3381 down with me to SaulH7586 to the campH4264? And AbishaiH52 saidH559, I will goH3381 down with thee. 7So DavidH1732 and AbishaiH52 cameH935 to the peopleH5971 by nightH3915: and, behold, SaulH7586 layH7901 sleepingH3463 within the place of the wagons, with his spearH2595 stuck in the groundH776 at his headH4763; and AbnerH74 and the peopleH5971 layH7901 roundH5439 about him. 8Then saidH559 AbishaiH52 to DavidH1732, GodH430 hath deliveredH5462 up thine enemyH341 into thy handH3027 this dayH3117: nowH6258 thereforeH6258 let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spearH2595 to the earthH776 at oneH259 stroke, and I will not smite him the second time. 9And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbishaiH52, DestroyH7843 him not; for who can put forthH7971 his handH3027 against Jehovah’s anointedH4899, and be guiltless?
