1 Samuel 26:8-10

The Voice

Abishai (to David): ⁸ This is your chance! God has placed your enemy at your mercy. Let me take his spear and pin him to the ground. I only need one try.

David: ⁹ No. Don’t kill him. Who can legitimately strike the Eternal’s anointed king without consequences? ¹⁰ As the Eternal One lives, his time will come. The Eternal will strike him down; either he will die, or he will go into battle one day and be slain.
