1 Samuel 26:7-16

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 aboutH5439 him. 8Then saidH559 AbishaiH52 to DavidH1732, GodH430 hath deliveredH5462 thy enemyH341 into thy handH3027 this dayH3117: now therefore let me smiteH5221 him, I pray thee, with the spearH2595 even to the earthH776 at onceH6471H259, 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 the LORD’SH3068 anointedH4899, and be guiltlessH5352? 10DavidH1732 saidH559 furthermore, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, the LORDH3068 shall smiteH5062 him; or his dayH3117 shall comeH935 to dieH4191; or he shall descendH3381 into battleH4421, and perishH5595. 11The LORDH3068 forbidH2486 that I should stretch forthH7971 my handH3027 against the LORD’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. 12So DavidH1732 tookH3947 the spearH2595 and the cruseH6835 of waterH4325 from beside Saul’sH7586 headH7226; and they departedH3212, and no man sawH7200 it, nor knewH3045 it, neither awokeH6974: for they were all asleepH3463; because a deep sleepH8639 from the LORDH3068 had fallenH5307 upon them.

13Then DavidH1732 went overH5674 to the other sideH5676, and stoodH5975 on the topH7218 of an hillH2022 afar offH7350; a greatH7227 spaceH4725 being between them: 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 thee in IsraelH3478? why then hast thou not keptH8104 thy lordH113 the kingH4428? for there cameH935 in oneH259 of the peopleH5971 to destroyH7843 the kingH4428 thy lordH113. 16This thingH1697 is not goodH2896 that thou hast doneH6213. As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, ye are worthyH1121 to dieH4194, because ye have not keptH8104 your masterH113, the LORD’SH3068 anointedH4899. And now seeH7200 where the king’sH4428 spearH2595 is, and the cruseH6835 of waterH4325 that was at his headH4763.2
