1 Samuel 26:6-8

Revised Geneva Translation

⁶ Then David spoke, and said to Ahimelech the Hittite and to Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, “Who will go down with me to Saul, to the camp?” Then Abishai said, “I will go down with you.”

⁷ So David and Abishai came down to the people at night. And behold, Saul lay sleeping inside the fort, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head: And Abner and the people lay all around him.

⁸ Then Abishai said to David, “God has closed your enemy into your hand this day! Now, therefore, please let me strike him once with a spear to the earth. And I will not strike him again.”
