1 Samuel 26:9-11

9But David said to Abishai, “Do not 1kill him, for 2who can reach out with his hand against the Lord’s anointed and remain innocent?”

10David also said, “As the Lord lives, 3the Lord certainly will strike him, or 4his day will come that he dies, or 5he will go down in battle and 6perish.

117The Lord forbid that I would reach out with my hand against the Lord’s anointed! But now please take the spear that is at his head and the jug of water, and let’s go.”
