1 Samuel 26:10-12

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁰ David also said, “As the Lord lives, ^(A)surely the Lord will strike him, or ^(B)his day will come that he dies, or ^(C)he will go down into battle and perish. ^11 (D)The Lord forbid that I should stretch out my hand against the Lord’s anointed; but now please take the spear that is at his head and the jug of water, and let us go.” ¹² So David took the spear and the jug of water from beside Saul’s head, and they went away, but no one saw or knew it, nor did any awake, for they were all asleep, because ^(E)a sound sleep from the Lord had fallen on them.
