1Sa 26:6-11, Job 31:30-31, Jer 40:13-16 | ESV | STEP | Then David said to Ahimelech the Hittite , and to Joab’s brother Abishai the son of Zeruiah , Who will go down with me into the camp to Saul ? And Abishai said , I will go down with you.

6 Then David said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Joab’s brother ^aAbishai the son of Zeruiah, ^b“Who will go down with me into the camp to Saul?” And Abishai said, “I will go down with you.” 7 So David and Abishai went to the army by night. And there lay Saul sleeping within ^cthe encampment, with his spear stuck in the ground ^dat his head, and Abner and the army lay around him. 8 Then Abishai said to David, ^e“God has given your enemy into your hand this day. Now please let me pin him to the earth with one stroke of the spear, and I will not strike him twice.” 9 But David said to Abishai, “Do not destroy him, for who can put out his hand ^fagainst the Lord’s anointed and be guiltless?” 10 And David said, ^g“As the Lord lives, ^hthe Lord will strike him, or ⁱhis day will come to die, ^jor he will go down into battle and perish. 11 ^kThe Lord forbid that I should put out my hand against the Lord’s anointed. But take now the spear that is ^lat his head and the jar of water, and let us go.”

Job 31:30-31

30 ( ^mI have not let my mouth sin
by asking for his life with a curse),
31 if the men of my tent have not said,
‘Who is there that has not been filled with his ⁿmeat?’

Jeremiah 40:13-16

13 Now ^oJohanan the son of Kareah and ^pall the leaders of the forces in the open country came to Gedaliah at Mizpah 14 and said to him, “Do you know that Baalis the king of ^qthe Ammonites has sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to take your life?” But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam would not believe them. 15 Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke secretly to Gedaliah at Mizpah, “Please let me go and strike down Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no one will know it. Why should he take your life, so that all the Judeans who are gathered about you would be scattered, ^rand the remnant of Judah would perish?” 16 But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Johanan the son of Kareah, “You shall not do this thing, for you are speaking falsely of Ishmael.”
