¹⁶ David said to him, “Your blood be on your head, for your own mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have killed the Lord’s anointed.’ ”^(A)

²⁵ Then the people as a whole answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”^(A)

²² He said to him, ‘I will judge you by your own words, you wicked slave! You knew, did you, that I was a harsh man, taking what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow?^(A)

³⁷ For on the day you go out and cross the Wadi Kidron, know for certain that you shall die; your blood shall be on your own head.”^(A)

¹⁰ So I stood over him and killed him, for I knew that he could not live after he had fallen. I took the crown that was on his head and the armlet that was on his arm, and I have brought them here to my lord.”^(A)

⁹ But David said to Abishai, “Do not destroy him, for who can raise his hand against the Lord’s anointed and be guiltless?”^(A)

¹⁹ If any of you go out of the doors of your house into the street, they shall be responsible for their own death, and we shall be innocent, but if a hand is laid upon any who are with you in the house, we shall bear the responsibility for their death.^(A)

⁹ All who curse father or mother shall be put to death; having cursed father or mother, their bloodguilt is upon them.^(A)

¹⁹ Now we know that, whatever the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world may be held accountable to God.^(A)

²⁶ Therefore I declare to you this day that I am not responsible for the blood of any of you,^(A)
