1 Samuel 26:9-13
1 Samuel 26:9
But David said to Abishai, “Do not kill him, for who can reach out with his hand against the Lord’s anointed and remain innocent?”
1 Samuel 26:10
David also said, “As the Lord lives, the Lord certainly will strike him, or his day will come that he dies, or he will go down in battle and perish.
1 Samuel 26:11
The Lord forbid that I would reach out with my hand against the Lord’s anointed! But now please take the spear that is at his head and the jug of water, and let’s go.”
1 Samuel 26:12
So David took the spear and the jug of water that were at Saul’s head, and they left; and no one saw or knew about it, nor did anyone awaken, for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the Lord had fallen on them.
1 Samuel 26:13
Then David crossed over to the other side and stood on top of the mountain at a distance with a large area between them.
