    5Then David got up and went to the place where Saul had camped. He saw where Saul and Abner son of Ner, the commander of his army, were lying down. Saul was lying inside the camp with the troops encamped around him.

    7So David and Abishai came to the troops by night, and there was Saul lying asleep in the camp with his spear stuck in the ground near his head. Abner and the troops were lying all around him.

    8Abishai said to David, "Today God has delivered your enemy into your hand. Now let me pin him to the ground with one thrust of the spear; I won't need to strike him twice."

    9But David said to Abishai, "Do not destroy him, for who can lay a hand on the LORD's anointed and be guiltless?"
