1 Samuel 26:6-9
6Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to AhimelechH288 1the HittiteH2850 and to 2AbishaiH52 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, Joab’sH3097 brotherH251, sayingH559, “WhoH4310 3will goH3381 downH3381 with me to SaulH7586 in the campH4264?” And AbishaiH52 saidH559, “I will goH3381 downH3381 with you.”
7So DavidH1732 and AbishaiH52 cameH935 to the peopleH5971 by nightH3915, and beholdH2009, SaulH7586 layH7901 sleepingH3463 inside the circleH4570 ofH4570 theH4570 campH4570 with his spearH2595 stuckH4600 in the groundH776 atH4763 his headH4763; and AbnerH74 and the peopleH5971 were lyingH7901 aroundH5439 him.
8Then AbishaiH52 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “TodayH3117 GodH430 has handedH5462H3027 your enemyH340 overH5462 to you; nowH6258 then, pleaseH4994 let me 4pinH5221 him with the spearH2595 to the groundH776 with oneH259 thrustH6471, and I will not 5doH8138 it to him aH8138 secondH8138 timeH8138.”
9But DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbishaiH52, “Do not 6killH7843 him, for 7whoH4310 can reachH7971 outH7971 with his handH3027 against the Lord’sH3068 anointedH4899 and remainH5352 innocentH5352?”
