1 Samuel 26:7-11

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?

10DavidH1732 saidH559 furthermore, As YhwhH3068 livethH2416, YhwhH3068 shall smiteH5062 him; or his dayH3117 shall comeH935 to dieH4191; or he shall descendH3381 into battleH4421, and perishH5595.

11YhwhH3068 forbidH2486 that I should stretch forthH7971 mine handH3027 against Yhwh'sH3068 anointedH4899: but, I pray thee, takeH3947 thou now the spearH2595 that is at his headH4763, and the cruseH6835 of waterH4325, and let us goH3212.
