1 Samuel 26:7-16

7SoH935 DavidH1732 and AbishaiH52 cameH935 to the peopleH5971 by nightH3915: and, beholdH2009, SaulH7586 layH7901 sleepingH3463 withinH935 the placeH935 of the wagons, with his spearH2595 stuckH4600 in the groundH776 at his headH4763: and AbnerH74 and the peopleH5971 layH7901 roundH5439 aboutH5439 him.

8Then saidH559 AbishaiH52 to DavidH1732, GodH430 hath deliveredH5462 upH5462 thine enemyH341 intoH413 thine handH3027 this dayH3117: nowH6258 therefore letH4994 meH413 smiteH5221 him, I prayH4994 thee, with the spearH2595 to the earthH776 at one strokeH6471, and I will notH3808 smiteH5221 him the secondH8138 time.

9And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbishaiH52, DestroyH7843 him notH408: for who canH4310 putH7971 forthH7971 his handH3027 againstH413 the LORD’SH3068 anointedH4899, and be guiltless?

10And DavidH1732 saidH559, As the LORDH3068 liveth, the LORDH3068 shall smiteH5062 him; or his dayH3117 shall comeH935 to dieH4191; or he shall goH935 downH3381 intoH935 battleH4421, and perishH5595.

11The LORDH3068 forbidH2486 that I should putH7971 forthH7971 mine handH3027 againstH3027 the LORD’SH3068 anointedH4899: but nowH6258 takeH3947, I prayH4994 thee, the spearH2595 that is at his headH4763, and the cruse of waterH4325, and letH7971 usH4994 goH7971.

12SoH3947 DavidH1732 tookH3947 the spearH2595 and the cruse of waterH4325 from Saul’sH7586 headH5307; and they gat them awayH3947, and noH369 manH3605 sawH7200 it, norH369 knewH3045 it, neitherH369 didH5307 anyH3605 awake: for they were allH3605 asleepH3462; becauseH3588 a deepH8639 sleepH3462 from the LORDH3068 was fallenH5307 uponH5921 them.

13Then DavidH1732 went over to the otherH5676 sideH5676, and stoodH5975 on the topH7218 of the mountainH2022 afarH7350 offH5921; a greatH7227 spaceH5676 being betweenH996 them:

14and DavidH1732 criedH7121 to the peopleH5971, and to AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, saving, Answerest thou notH3808, AbnerH74? Then AbnerH74 answeredH559 and saidH559, Who art thou that criest to the kingH4428?

15And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbnerH74, Art notH3808 thou a valiant manH376? and who is like thee in IsraelH3478? wherefore then hast thou notH3808 keptH8104 watchH8104 over thy lordH113 the kingH4428? for there cameH935 one of the peopleH5971 in to destroyH7843 the kingH4428 thy lordH113.

16This thingH1697 is notH3808 goodH2896 that thou hast doneH6213. As the LORDH3068 liveth, ye are worthy to dieH4194, becauseH3588 ye have notH3808 keptH8104 watchH8104 over your lordH3068, the LORD’SH3068 anointedH4899. And nowH6258, seeH7200, whereH834 the king’sH4428 spearH2595 is, and the cruse of waterH4325 that was at his headH4763.
