9 But David said to Abishai, “Don’t kill Saul! Anyone who hurts the LORD’S chosen king[115] must be punished.

10 As surely as the LORD lives, the LORD himself will punish Saul. Maybe Saul will die naturally or maybe he will be killed in battle.

11 But I pray that the LORD never lets me hurt the LORD’S chosen king. Now pick up the spear and water jug by Saul’s head and let’s go.”
