1 Samuel 26:14-18
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 26
14
And David called to the people and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, 'Will you not answer, Abner?' Then Abner replied, 'Who are you who calls to the king?'
15
So David said to Abner, 'Are you not a man? And who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not guarded your lord the king? For one of the people came to kill the king your lord!
16
This thing that you have done is not good. As the
Lord
lives,
all of
you undoubtedly must die, because you did not guard your lord, the
Lord
’S anointed. And now, see where the king’s spear is and the jug of water that was at his head!'
17
Then Saul recognized David’s voice and said, 'Is this your voice, my son David?' And David said, 'It is my voice, my lord the king.'
18
He also said, 'Why then is my lord pursuing his servant? For what have I done? Or what evil is in my hand?
King James Version
Chapter 26
14
And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who art thou that criest to the king?
15
And David said to Abner, Art not thou a valiant man? and who is like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord.
16
This thing is not good that thou hast done. As the
Lord
liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the
Lord
'S anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his bolster.
17
And Saul knew David's voice, and said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king.
18
And he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in mine hand?
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 26
14
Then David shouted to the troops and to Abner son of Ner: "Aren’t you going to answer, Abner?" "Who are you who calls to the king?" Abner asked.
15
David called to Abner, "You’re a man, aren’t you? Who in Israel is your equal? So why didn’t you protect your lord the king when one of the people came to destroy him?
16
What you have done is not good. As the
Lord
lives, all of you deserve to die since you didn’t protect your lord, the
Lord
’s anointed. Now look around; where are the king’s spear and water jug that were by his head?"
17
Saul recognized David’s voice and asked, "Is that your voice, my son David?" "It is my voice, my lord and king," David said.
18
Then he continued, "Why is my lord pursuing his servant? What have I done? What crime have I committed?
New Living Translation
Chapter 26
14
Then he shouted down to the soldiers and to Abner son of Ner, 'Wake up, Abner!' 'Who is it?' Abner demanded.
15
Well, Abner, you’re a great man, aren’t you?' David taunted. 'Where in all Israel is there anyone as mighty? So why haven’t you guarded your master the king when someone came to kill him?
16
This isn’t good at all! I swear by the
Lord
that you and your men deserve to die, because you failed to protect your master, the
Lord
’s anointed! Look around! Where are the king’s spear and the jug of water that were beside his head?'
17
Saul recognized David’s voice and called out, 'Is that you, my son David?' And David replied, 'Yes, my lord the king.
18
Why are you chasing me? What have I done? What is my crime?
English Standard Version
Chapter 26
14
And David called to the army, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, "Will you not answer, Abner?" Then Abner answered, "Who are you who calls to the king?"
15
And David said to Abner, "Are you not a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy the king your lord.
16
This thing that you have done is not good. As the
Lord
lives, you deserve to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, the
Lord
's anointed. And now see where the king 's spear is and the jar of water that was at his head."
17
Saul recognized David 's voice and said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" And David said, "It is my voice, my lord, O king."
18
And he said, "Why does my lord pursue after his servant? For what have I done? What evil is on my hands?
New International Version
Chapter 26
14
He called out to the army and to Abner son of Ner, "Aren’t you going to answer me, Abner?" Abner replied, "Who are you who calls to the king?"
15
David said, "You’re a man, aren’t you? And who is like you in Israel? Why didn’t you guard your lord the king? Someone came to destroy your lord the king.
16
What you have done is not good. As surely as the
Lord
lives, you and your men must die, because you did not guard your master, the
Lord
’s anointed. Look around you. Where are the king’s spear and water jug that were near his head?"
17
Saul recognized David’s voice and said, "Is that your voice, David my son?" David replied, "Yes it is, my lord the king."
18
And he added, "Why is my lord pursuing his servant? What have I done, and what wrong am I guilty of?
New King James Version
Chapter 26
14
And David called out to the people and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, “Do you not answer, Abner?” Then Abner answered and said, “Who
are
you, calling out to the king?”
15
So David said to Abner, “
Are
you not a man? And who
is
like you in Israel? Why then have you not guarded your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy your lord the king.
16
This thing that you have done
is
not good.
As
the
Lord
lives, you deserve to die, because you have not guarded your master, the
Lord
’s anointed. And now see where the king’s spear
is,
and the jug of water that
was
by his head.”
17
Then Saul knew David’s voice, and said, “
Is
that your voice, my son David?” David said, “
It is
my voice, my lord, O king.”
18
And he said, “Why does my lord thus pursue his servant? For what have I done, or what evil
is
in my hand?
