1 Samuel 26:7-9

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁷ So David and Abishai came to the people by night, and behold, Saul lay sleeping inside the circle of the camp with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people were lying around him. ⁸ Then Abishai said to David, “Today God has delivered your enemy into your hand; now therefore, please let me strike him with the spear ^[a]to the ground with one stroke, and I will not ^[b]strike him the second time.” ⁹ But David said to Abishai, “Do not destroy him, for ^(A)who can stretch out his hand against the Lord’s anointed and be without guilt?”
