1 Samuel 26:8-10

Modern English Version

⁸ Then Abishai said to David, “God has today delivered your enemy into your hand. Now please let me strike him with the spear through to the ground with one stroke, and I will not strike him a second time.”

⁹ David said to Abishai, “Do not destroy him. For who can stretch out his hand against the Lord’s anointed and remain unpunished?” ¹⁰ David said, “As the Lord lives, the Lord will strike him, or his day will come to die, or he will go down into battle and perish.
