1 Samuel 26:8-10
Lexham English Bible
8 Then Abishai said to David, “God has handed over your enemy into your hand today! So then, please let me pin him to the ground with the spear[a] one time,[b] and I will not strike him twice.”[c] 9 But David said to Abishai, “Do not destroy[d] him! For who has stretched out his hand against Yahweh’s anointed one and remained blameless?” 10 And David said, “As Yahweh lives,[e] certainly[f] Yahweh will strike him, or his day will come and he will die, or he will go down in the battle and perish.[g]
