1 Samuel 26:8-10

Revised Geneva Translation

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.”

⁹ And David said to Abishai, “Do not destroy him. For who can lay his hand on the LORD’s anointed and be guiltless?”

¹⁰ Moreover David said, “As the LORD lives, either the LORD shall strike him, or his day shall come to die, or he shall descend into battle and perish.
