1 Samuel 26:9-11
Lexham English Bible
9 But David said to Abishai, “Do not destroy[a] him! For who has stretched out his hand against Yahweh’s anointed one and remained blameless?” 10 And David said, “As Yahweh lives,[b] certainly[c] Yahweh will strike him, or his day will come and he will die, or he will go down in the battle and perish.[d] 11 Yahweh forbid me[e] from stretching out my hand against Yahweh’s anointed one! So then, please take the spear that is near his head and the jar of water, and let us go.”
