## 1 Samuel 26:10-11 in Context (Verses 7–14 KJV)
 
 [7 ](/kjv/1-samuel/26/7) 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.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/1-samuel/26/8) 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.*
 
 [9 ](/kjv/1-samuel/26/9) And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the LORD’s anointed, and be guiltless?
 
 [10 ](/kjv/1-samuel/26/10) 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.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/1-samuel/26/11) 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.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/1-samuel/26/12) 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.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/1-samuel/26/13) ¶ Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of an hill afar off; a great space *being* between them:
 
 [14 ](/kjv/1-samuel/26/14) 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?
