1 Samuel 26:9-11

Living Bible

⁹ “No,” David said. “Don’t kill him, for who can remain innocent after attacking the Lord’s chosen king? ¹⁰ Surely God will strike him down some day, or he will die in battle or of old age. ¹¹ But God forbid that I should kill the man he has chosen to be king! But I’ll tell you what—we’ll take his spear and his jug of water and then get out of here!”
