Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Then answered Dauid and spake to Ahimelech the Hethite, & to Abisai the sonne of Zaruia and brother to Ioab, saying: who will go downe with me to Saul to the hoste? And Abisai saide: I will go downe with the. ⁷ And so Dauid and Abisai came downe to the people by nyght. And beholde, Saul laye sleping within the hoost, & his speare stacke in the ground at his heed. But Abner & the people laye round about hym. ⁸ Then sayde Abisai to Dauid: God hath deliuered thyne enemye into thyne hande this daye. Now therfore, lett me smyte hym once with my speare to the erth, & I wyll not smyte hym the seconde tyme. ⁹ And Dauid sayde to Abisai: destroye him not. For who can laye his hande on the Lordes anoynted, & be gyltlesse? ¹⁰ And Dauid sayde furthermore: as sure as the Lorde lyueth, the Lorde shall smyte him or his daye shall come to dye, or he shall descende into battell, & there perishe. ¹¹ The Lord kepe me from laying myne hande vpon the Lordes anoynted: But take thou now the speare that is at his heed, & the crewse of water, & let vs go.
