9 But David said to Abishai, “Do not [a]kill him, for (A)who can reach out with his hand against the Lord’s anointed and remain innocent?” 10 David also said, “As the Lord lives, (B)the Lord certainly will strike him, or (C)his day will come that he dies, or (D)he will go down in battle and [b]perish. 11 (E)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.”

New International Version
9 But David said to Abishai, “Don’t destroy him! Who can lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed(A) and be guiltless?(B) 10 As surely as the Lord lives,” he said, “the Lord himself will strike(C) him, or his time(D) will come and he will die,(E) 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.”
