1 Samuel 26:7-11

1 Samuel 26:7-11 TLV

So David and Abishai approached the troops by night. Behold, Saul was lying asleep within the barricade with his spear stuck in the ground at his head, and Abner and the troops were sleeping around him. Then Abishai said to David, “God has delivered your enemy into your hand today. Now let me pin him to the ground with a single thrust of the spear. I will not have to strike him twice.” But David said to Abishai, “Don’t destroy him! For who can lay his hand on ADONAI’s anointed and be guiltless?” David added, “As ADONAI lives, either ADONAI will strike him down, or his day will come to die, or he will go down to battle and be swept away. ADONAI forbid that I should lay my hand on ADONAI’s anointed! Now, just take the spear that is at his head and the water jar and let’s go.”
