1 Samuel 26:13 in context

  1. 11Yahweh forbid that I should stretch out my hand against Yahweh’s anointed; but now please take the spear that is at his head, and the jar of water, and let’s go.”
  2. 12So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul’s head; and they went away: and no man saw it, or knew it, nor did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from Yahweh had fallen on them.
  3. 13Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of the mountain afar off; a great space being between them;
  4. 14and David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, “Don’t you answer, Abner?”
    Then Abner answered, “Who are you who cries to the king?”
  5. 15David said to Abner, “Aren’t you a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord, the king? For one of the people came in to destroy the king your lord.
