1 Samuel 26:14-16

International Standard Version

¹⁴ David called out to the army^[a] and to Ner’s son Abner, “Abner, won’t you answer me?”

Abner answered: “Who are you who calls out to the king?”

¹⁵ David told Abner, “Are you not a man, and who is like you in Israel? Why didn’t you guard your lord, the king? Indeed, a soldier came to destroy the king, your lord. ¹⁶ This thing that you did is not good. As the Lord lives, you deserve to die,^[b] you who didn’t guard your lord, the Lord’s anointed. Where is the king’s spear and where is the jug of water that was at his head?”
