1 Samuel 26:6-9
6Then answeredH6030 DavidH1732 and saidH559 to AhimelechH288 the HittiteH2850, and to AbishaiH52 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, brotherH251 to JoabH3097, sayingH559, Who will go downH3381 with me to SaulH7586 to the campH4264? And AbishaiH52 saidH559, I will go downH3381 with thee.
7So DavidH1732 and AbishaiH52 cameH935 to the peopleH5971 by nightH3915: and, behold, SaulH7586 layH7901 sleepingH3463 within the trenchH4570, and his spearH2595 stuckH4600 in the groundH776 at his headH4763: but AbnerH74 and the peopleH5971 layH7901 round aboutH5439 him.
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 Yhwh'sH3068 anointedH4899, and be guiltlessH5352?
