1 Samuel 26:8-12

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.

12So DavidH1732 tookH3947 the spearH2595 and the cruseH6835 of waterH4325 from Saul’sH7586 bolsterH7226; and they gat them awayH3212, and no man sawH7200 it, nor knewH3045 it, neither awakedH6974: for they were all asleepH3463; because a deep sleepH8639 from the LordH3068 was fallenH5307 upon them.
