← 1 Samuel 26:11	1 Samuel 26:12 (KJV)	1 Samuel 26:13 →
The LORD forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against the LORD'S anointed: but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that [is] at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go.	So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's bolster; and they gat them away, and no man saw [it], nor knew [it], neither awaked: for they [were] all asleep; because a deep sleep from the LORD was fallen upon them.	Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of an hill afar off; a great space [being] between them:
