1 Samuel 26:6-9

Jul 03, 2009 20:58

Then David answered and said to Ahimelech the Hittite and Abishai the son of Zeruiah, the brother of Joab: “Who will go down with me to Saul into the camp?” To this Abishai said: “I myself shall go down with you.” And David made his way with Abishai to the people by night; and, look! Saul was lying asleep in the camp enclosure with his spear stuck into the earth at his head, and Ab´ner and the people were lying all around him.

Abishai now said to David: “God has today surrendered your enemy into your hand. And now let me, please, pin him to the earth with the spear just once, and I shall not do it to him twice.” However, David said to Abishai: “Do not bring him to ruin, for who is it that has thrust his hand out against the anointed of Jehovah and has remained innocent?”
