1 Samuel 26:7-9
Lexham English Bible

7 So David and Abishai came to the army by night, and there was[a] Saul lying asleep in the encampment with[b] his spear thrust into the ground near his head, and Abner and the army were lying all around him. 8 Then Abishai said to David, “God has handed over your enemy into your hand today! So then, please let me pin him to the ground with the spear[c] one time,[d] and I will not strike him twice.”[e] 9 But David said to Abishai, “Do not destroy[f] him! For who has stretched out his hand against Yahweh’s anointed one and remained blameless?”
