1 Samuel 26:13
Compare all
11 aThe Lord forbid that I should stretch out my hand against the Lord’s anointed. But please, take now the spear and the jug of water that are by his head, and let us go.”  
12 So 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. For they were all asleep, because aa deep sleep from the Lord had fallen on them.  
13 Now David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of a hill afar off, a great distance being between them.
14 And David called out to the people and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, “Do you not answer, Abner?” Then Abner answered and said, “Who are you, calling out to the king?”
15 So David said to Abner, “Are you not a man? And who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not guarded your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy your lord the king.
16 This thing that you have done is not good. As the Lord lives, you deserve to die, because you have not guarded your master, the Lord’s anointed. And now see where the king’s spear is, and the jug of water that was by his head.”
17 Then Saul knew David’s voice, and said, a“Is that your voice, my son David?” David said, “It is my voice, my lord, O king.”  
18 And he said, a“Why does my lord thus pursue his servant? For what have I done, or what evil is in my hand?  
19 Now therefore, please, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant: If the Lord has astirred you up against me, let Him accept an offering. But if it is the children of men, may they be cursed before the Lord, bfor they have driven me out this day from sharing in the cinheritance of the Lord, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods.’  
20 So now, do not let my blood fall to the earth before the face of the Lord. For the king of Israel has come out to seek aa flea, as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains.”  
21 Then Saul said, a“I have sinned. Return, my son David. For I will harm you no more, because my life was precious in your eyes this day. Indeed I have played the fool and erred exceedingly.”  
22 And David answered and said, “Here is the king’s spear. Let one of the young men come over and get it.
