1 Samuel 26:15-17

Good News Translation

¹⁵ David answered, “Abner, aren't you the greatest man in Israel? So why aren't you protecting your master, the king? Just now someone entered the camp to kill your master. ¹⁶ You failed in your duty, Abner! I swear by the living Lord that all of you deserve to die, because you have not protected your master, whom the Lord made king. Look! Where is the king's spear? Where is the water jar that was right by his head?”

¹⁷ Saul recognized David's voice and asked, “David, is that you, my son?”

“Yes, Your Majesty,” David answered.
