1 Samuel 26:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ But David said to Abishai, “Don’t ·kill [^Ldestroy] Saul! ·No one [Who…?] can ·harm [raise a hand against] the Lord’s ·appointed king [anointed] and still be ·innocent [without guilt]! ¹⁰ As surely as the Lord lives, the Lord himself will ·punish Saul [strike him]. ·Maybe Saul will die naturally [^LHis day to die will come], or maybe he will go into battle and be killed. ¹¹ But may the Lord ·keep me from [forbid my] ·harming [raising my hand against] his ·appointed king [anointed]! Take the spear and water jug that are near Saul’s head. Then let’s go.”
