1 Samuel 26:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ “Don't kill him!” David whispered back. “The Lord will punish anyone who kills his chosen king. ¹⁰ As surely as the Lord lives, the Lord will kill Saul, or Saul will die a natural death or be killed in battle. ^11 (A) But I pray that the Lord will keep me from harming his chosen king. Let's grab his spear and his water jar and get out of here!”
