1 Samuel 26:6-8

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁶ Then David asked Ahimelech the Hittite^(A) and Joab’s brother Abishai^(B) son of Zeruiah, “Who will go with me into the camp^(C) to Saul?”

“I’ll go with you,” answered Abishai.

⁷ That night, David and Abishai came to the troops, and Saul was lying there asleep in the inner circle of the camp with his spear stuck in the ground by his head. Abner and the troops were lying around him. ⁸ Then Abishai said to David, “Today God has handed your enemy over to you. Let me thrust the spear through him into the ground just once. I won’t have to strike him twice!”
