Why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king? For there came one of the people in to destroy the king your lord." 16 This thing you have done is not good. As the LORD lives, you are deserving of death because you have not kept your master, the LORD's anointed.

And David said, "It is my voice, my lord, O king."
