1 Samuel 26:8-11 Then Abi Shai says to David, Elohim shuts your enemy into your hand this day: now let me smite him, I beseech you, with the spear even to the earth one time

ECB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ Then Abi Shai says to David, Elohim shuts your enemy into your hand this day: now let me smite him, I beseech you, with the spear even to the earth one time - and not a second time. ⁹ And David says to Abi Shai, Ruin him not: for who may send his hand against the anointed of Yah Veh and be exonorated? ¹⁰ David says, As Yah Veh lives, Yah Veh smites him; or his day comes to die; or he descends into war and is scraped away: ¹¹ far be it that I send my hand against the anointed of Yah Veh: but, I beseech you, take now the spear at his headpieces and the cruse of water; and we go.
