1 Samuel 26:7-16

7So DavidH1732 and AbishaiH52 cameH935 to the peopleH5971 by nightH3915, and beholdH2009, SaulH7586 layH7901 sleepingH3463 inside the circleH4570 of the campH4570 with his spearH2595 stuckH4600 in the groundH776 at his headH4763; and AbnerH74 and the peopleH5971 were lyingH7901 aroundH5439 him. 8Then AbishaiH52 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “TodayH3117 GodH430 has deliveredH5462 your enemyH340 into your handH3027; nowH6258 therefore, pleaseH4994 let me strikeH5221 him with the spearH2595 1to the groundH776 with oneH259 strokeH6471, and I will not 2strike him the secondH8138 timeH8138.” 9But DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbishaiH52, “Do not destroyH7843 him, for 3whoH4310 can stretchH7971 out his handH3027 against the Lord’sH3068 anointedH4899 and be withoutH5352 guiltH5352?” 10DavidH1732 also saidH559, “As the LordH3068 livesH2416, 4surelyH3588H518 the LordH3068 will strikeH5062 him, orH176 5his dayH3117 will comeH935 that he diesH4191, orH176 6he will goH3381 downH3381 into battleH4421 and perishH5595. 117The LordH3068 forbidH2486 that I should stretchH7971 out my handH3027 against the Lord’sH3068 anointedH4899; but nowH6258 pleaseH4994 takeH3947 the spearH2595 that is at his headH4763 and the jugH6835 of waterH4325, and let us goH1980.” 12So DavidH1732 tookH3947 the spearH2595 and the jugH6835 of waterH4325 from beside Saul’sH7586 headH4763, and they wentH1980 away, but noH369 oneH369 sawH7200 or knewH3045 it, norH369 did any awakeH7019, for they were allH3605 asleepH3463, becauseH3588 8a soundH8639 sleepH8639 from the LordH3068 had fallenH5307 on them.

13Then DavidH1732 crossedH5674 overH5674 to the otherH5676 sideH5676 and stoodH5975 on topH7218 of the mountainH2022 at a distanceH7350 with a largeH7227 areaH4725 betweenH996 them. 14DavidH1732 calledH7121 to the peopleH5971 and to AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, sayingH559, “Will you not answerH6030, AbnerH74?” Then AbnerH74 repliedH6030, “WhoH4310 are you who callsH7121 to the kingH4428?” 15So DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbnerH74, “Are you not a manH376? And whoH4310 is likeH3644 you in IsraelH3478? WhyH4100 then have you not guardedH8104 your lordH113 the kingH4428? For oneH259 of the peopleH5971 cameH935 to destroyH7843 the kingH4428 your lordH113. 16ThisH2088 thingH1697 that you have doneH6213 is not goodH2896. As the LordH3068 livesH2416, all of you 910mustH1121 surelyH3588 dieH4194, becauseH834 you did not guardH8104 your lordH113, the Lord’sH3068 anointedH4899. And nowH6258, seeH7200 whereH335 the king’sH4428 spearH2595 is and the jugH6835 of waterH4325 that was at his headH4763.”
