1 Samuel 26:8-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 26
8
Then Abishai said to David, 'Today God has handed your enemy over to you; now then, please let me pin him with the spear to the ground with one thrust, and I will not do it to him a second time.'
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?'
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.
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.'
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.
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.
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?'
King James Version
Chapter 26
8
Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time.
9
And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the
Lord
'S anointed, and be guiltless?
10
David said furthermore, As the
Lord
liveth, the
Lord
shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish.
11
The
Lord
forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against the
Lord
'S anointed: but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that is at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go.
12
So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's bolster; and they gat them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked: for they were all asleep; because a deep sleep from the
Lord
was fallen upon them.
13
Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of an hill afar off; a great space being between them:
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?
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 26
8
Then Abishai said to David, "Today God has delivered your enemy to you. Let me thrust the spear through him into the ground just once. I won’t have to strike him twice!"
9
But David said to Abishai, "Don’t destroy him, for who can lift a hand against the
Lord
’s anointed and be innocent?"
10
David added, "As the
Lord
lives, the
Lord
will certainly strike him down: either his day will come and he will die, or he will go into battle and perish.
11
However, because of the
Lord
, I will never lift my hand against the
Lord
’s anointed. Instead, take the spear and the water jug by his head, and let’s go."
12
So David took the spear and the water jug by Saul’s head, and they went their way. No one saw them, no one knew, and no one woke up; they all remained asleep because a deep sleep from the
Lord
came over them.
13
David crossed to the other side and stood on top of the mountain at a distance; there was a considerable space between them.
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.

Chapter 26
8
God has surely handed your enemy over to you this time!' Abishai whispered to David. 'Let me pin him to the ground with one thrust of the spear; I won’t need to strike twice!'
9
No!' David said. 'Don’t kill him. For who can remain innocent after attacking the
Lord
’s anointed one?
10
Surely the
Lord
will strike Saul down someday, or he will die of old age or in battle.
11
The
Lord
forbid that I should kill the one he has anointed! But take his spear and that jug of water beside his head, and then let’s get out of here!'
12
So David took the spear and jug of water that were near Saul’s head. Then he and Abishai got away without anyone seeing them or even waking up, because the
Lord
had put Saul’s men into a deep sleep.
13
David climbed the hill opposite the camp until he was at a safe distance.
14
Then he shouted down to the soldiers and to Abner son of Ner, 'Wake up, Abner!' 'Who is it?' Abner demanded.

8
Then Abishai said to David, "God has given your enemy into your hand this day. Now please let me pin him to the earth with one stroke of the spear, and I will not strike him twice."
9
But David said to Abishai, "Do not destroy him, for who can put out his hand against the
Lord
's anointed and be guiltless?"
10
And 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.
11
The
Lord
forbid that I should put out my hand against the
Lord
's anointed. But take now the spear that is at his head and the jar of water, and let us go."
12
So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul 's head, and they went away. No man saw it or knew it, nor did any awake, for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the
Lord
had fallen upon them.
13
Then David went over to the other side and stood far off on the top of the hill, with a great space between them.
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?"
New International Version
Chapter 26
8
Abishai said to David, "Today God has delivered your enemy into your hands. Now let me pin him to the ground with one thrust of the spear; I won’t strike him twice."
9
But David said to Abishai, "Don’t destroy him! Who can lay a hand on the
Lord
’s anointed and be guiltless?
10
As surely as the
Lord
lives," he said, "the
Lord
himself will strike him, or his time will come and he will die, or he will go into battle and perish.
11
But the
Lord
forbid that I should lay a hand on the
Lord
’s anointed. Now get the spear and water jug that are near his head, and let’s go."
12
So David took the spear and water jug near Saul’s head, and they left. No one saw or knew about it, nor did anyone wake up. They were all sleeping, because the
Lord
had put them into a deep sleep.
13
Then David crossed over to the other side and stood on top of the hill some distance away; there was a wide space between them.
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?"
New King James Version
Chapter 26
8
Then Abishai said to David, “God has delivered your enemy into your hand this day. Now therefore, please, let me strike him at once with the spear, right to the earth; and I will not
have to strike
him a second time!”
9
But David said to Abishai, “Do not destroy him; for who can stretch out his hand against the
Lord
’s anointed, and be guiltless?”
10
David said furthermore, “
As
the
Lord
lives, the
Lord
shall strike him, or his day shall come to die, or he shall go out to battle and perish.
11
The
Lord
forbid that I should stretch out my hand against the
Lord
’s anointed. But please, take now the spear and the jug of water that
are
by his head, and let us go.”
12
So David took the spear and the jug of water
by
Saul’s head, and they got away; and no man saw or knew
it
or awoke. For they
were
all asleep, because a deep sleep from the
Lord
had fallen on them.
13
Now David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of a hill afar off, a great distance
being
between them.
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?”
