King James Version
1 Samuel 26:8-11
8Then saidH559 AbishaiH52 to DavidH1732, GodH430 hath deliveredH5462 thine enemyH341 into thine handH3027 this dayH3117: now therefore let me smiteH5221 him, I pray thee, with the spearH2595 even to the earthH776 at onceH259H6471, and I will not smite him the second timeH8138.1
9And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbishaiH52, DestroyH7843 him not: for who can stretch forthH7971 his handH3027 against the Lord’sH3068 anointedH4899, and be guiltlessH5352?
10DavidH1732 saidH559 furthermore, As the LordH3068 livethH2416, the LordH3068 shall smiteH5062 him; or his dayH3117 shall comeH935 to dieH4191; or he shall descendH3381 into battleH4421, and perishH5595.
11The LordH3068 forbidH2486 that I should stretch forthH7971 mine handH3027 against the Lord’sH3068 anointedH4899: but, I pray thee, takeH3947 thou now the spearH2595 that is at his bolsterH4763, and the cruseH6835 of waterH4325, and let us goH3212.
