1 Samuel 26:8-10

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁸ Then said Abishai to David, God has given your enemy into your hands this day. Now therefore let me smite him to the earth at once with one stroke of the spear, and I will not strike him twice.

⁹ David said to Abishai, Do not destroy him; for who can raise his hand against the Lord’s anointed and be guiltless?

¹⁰ David said, As the Lord lives, [He] will smite him; or his day will come to die or he will go down in battle and perish.
