*
Then David said to Ahim '
elech the Hittite ,
and to Jo '
ab '
s brother Abi '
shai the son of Zeru '
iah , "
Who will go down with me into the camp to Saul ?"
And Abi '
shai said , "
I will go down with you ."
*
So David and Abi '
shai went to the army by night ;
and there lay Saul sleeping within the encampment ,
with his spear stuck in the ground at his head ;
and Abner and the army lay around him .
*
Then said Abi '
shai to David , "
God has given your enemy into your hand this day ;
now therefore let me pin him to the earth with one stroke of the spear ,
and I will not strike him twice ."
*
But David said to Abi '
shai , "
Do not destroy him ;
for who can put forth his hand against the LORD '
S anointed ,
and be guiltless ?"
*
And David said , "
As the LORD lives ,
the LORD will smite him ;
or his day shall come to die ;
or he shall go down into battle and perish .
*
The LORD forbid that I should put forth my hand against the LORD '
S anointed ;
but take now the spear that is at his head ,
and the jar of water ,
and let us go ."
