But please, take now the spear and the jug of water that are by his head, and let us go.” ¹²So David took the spear and the jug of water by Saul’s head, and they got away; and no man saw or knew it or awoke.

¹⁰David said furthermore, As the Lord liveth, the Lord shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish.

¹¹The Lord forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against the Lord's anointed: but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that is at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go.

¹²So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's bolster; and they gat them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked: for they were all asleep; because a deep sleep from the Lord was fallen upon them.

¹⁰David also said, “As the Lord lives, ^(A)the Lord certainly will strike him, or ^(B)his day will come that he dies, or ^(C)he will go down in battle and ^[a]perish. ¹¹^(D)The Lord forbid that I would reach out with my hand against the Lord’s anointed! But now please take the spear that is at his head and the jug of water, and let’s go.” ¹²So David took the spear and the jug of water that were at Saul’s head, and they left; and no one saw or knew about it, nor did anyone awaken, for they were all asleep, because ^(E)a deep sleep from the Lord had fallen on them.
