³ When I saw that you would not deliver me, I ^[a](A)took my life in my hands and crossed over against the sons of Ammon, and the Lord gave them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me this day to fight against me?”

⁵ For ^(A)he took his life in his hand and struck the Philistine, and ^(B)the Lord brought about a great deliverance for all Israel; you saw it and rejoiced. ^(C)Why then will you sin against innocent blood by putting David to death without a cause?”
