09:026:006 Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to
           Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will
           go down with me to Saul to the camp?  And Abishai said, I will
           go down with thee.

09:026:007 So David and Abishai came to the people by night:  and, behold,
           Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in
           the ground at his bolster:  but Abner and the people lay round
           about him.

09:026:008 Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy
           into thine hand this day:  now therefore let me smite him, I
           pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I
           will not smite him the second time.

09:026:009 And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not:  for who can
           stretch forth his hand against the LORD’s anointed, and be
           guiltless?

09:026:010 David 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.

09:026:011 The 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.

09:026:012 So 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.

09:026:013 Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top
           of an hill afar off; a great space being between them: 

09:026:014 And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner,
           saying, Answerest thou not, Abner?  Then Abner answered and
           said, Who art thou that criest to the king?

09:026:015 And David said to Abner, Art not thou a valiant man? and who
           is like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept
           thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to
           destroy the king thy lord.

09:026:016 This thing is not good that thou hast done.  As the lord
           liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not kept your
           master, the LORD’s anointed.  And now see where the king’s
           spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his bolster.

09:026:017 And Saul knew David’s voice, and said, Is this thy voice, my
           son David?  And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king.

09:026:018 And he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his
           servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in mine hand?
