New American Standard Bible
6 Then David said to Ahimelech (A)the Hittite and to (B)Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab’s brother, saying, “Who (C)will go down with me to Saul in the camp?” And Abishai said, “I will go down with you.” 7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night, and behold, Saul lay sleeping inside the circle of the camp with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people were lying around him. 8 Then Abishai said to David, “Today God has handed your enemy over to you; now then, please let me [a]pin him with the spear to the ground with one thrust, and I will not [b]do it to him a second time.”

New International Version
6 David then asked Ahimelek the Hittite(A) and Abishai(B) son of Zeruiah,(C) Joab’s brother, “Who will go down into the camp with me to Saul?”
“I’ll go with you,” said Abishai.
7 So David and Abishai went to the army by night, and there was Saul, lying asleep inside the camp with his spear stuck in the ground near his head. Abner and the soldiers were lying around him.
8 Abishai said to David, “Today God has delivered your enemy into your hands. Now let me pin him to the ground with one thrust of the spear; I won’t strike him twice.”
