1 Samuel 26:7-16

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? 10And DavidH1732 saidH559, As Jehovah liveth, Jehovah will smite him; or his dayH3117 shall comeH935 to dieH4191; or he shall goH935 down into battleH4421 and perish. 11Jehovah forbid that I should put forthH7971 my handH3027 against Jehovah’s anointedH4899: but nowH6258 takeH3947, I pray thee, the spearH2595 that is at his headH4763, and the cruse of waterH4325, and let us goH7971. 12So DavidH1732 tookH3947 the spearH2595 and the cruse of waterH4325 from Saul’s head; and they gat them awayH3947: and no man sawH7200 it, nor knewH3045 it, neither did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deepH8639 sleepH3462 from Jehovah was fallenH5307 upon them.

13Then DavidH1732 went over to the otherH5676 sideH5676, and stoodH5975 on the topH7218 of the mountainH2022 afarH7350 off; a greatH7227 space being between them; 14and DavidH1732 cried to the peopleH5971, and to AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, sayingH559, Answerest thou not, AbnerH74? Then AbnerH74 answered and saidH559, Who art thou that criest to the kingH4428? 15And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbnerH74, Art not thou a valiant manH376? and who is likeH3644 to thee in IsraelH3478? wherefore then hast thou not keptH8104 watchH8104 over thy lordH113 the kingH4428? for there cameH935 oneH259 of the peopleH5971 in to destroyH7843 the kingH4428 thy lordH113. 16This thingH1697 is not goodH2896 that thou hast done. As Jehovah liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not keptH8104 watchH8104 over your lord, Jehovah’s anointedH4899. And nowH6258 seeH7200 whereH834 the king’sH4428 spearH2595 is, and the cruse of waterH4325 that was at his headH4763.
