¹⁴ And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to put forth thy hand to destroy Jehovah's anointed?

¹⁶ And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain Jehovah's anointed.

⁶ And he said unto his men, Jehovah forbid that I should do this thing unto my lord, Jehovah's anointed, to put forth my hand against him, seeing he is Jehovah's anointed.

⁷ So David checked his men with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. And Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.

¹⁵ `Saying', Touch not mine anointed ones, And do my prophets no harm.
