1 Samuel 26:14-16

14And DavidH1732 criedH7121 to the peopleH5971, and to AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, sayingH559, AnswerestH6030 thou not, AbnerH74? Then AbnerH74 answeredH6030 and saidH559, Who art thou that criestH7121 to the kingH4428?

15And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbnerH74, Art not thou a valiant manH376? and who is like to thee in IsraelH3478? wherefore then hast thou not keptH8104 thy lordH113 the kingH4428? for there cameH935 oneH259 of the peopleH5971 in to destroyH7843 the kingH4428 thy lordH113.

16This thingH1697 is not goodH2896 that thou hast doneH6213. As YhwhH3068 livethH2416, ye are worthyH1121 to dieH4194, because ye have not keptH8104 your masterH113, Yhwh'sH3068 anointedH4899. And now seeH7200 where the king’sH4428 spearH2595 is, and the cruseH6835 of waterH4325 that was at his headH4763.1
