1 Samuel 26:15-17

International Standard Version

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,^[a] 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?”

¹⁷ Saul recognized David’s voice and said, “Is this your voice, my son David?”

David replied, “It is my voice, your majesty.”^[b]
