<p class="bodytext">But David said to Abishai, &#8220;Don&#8217;t kill him! Who can extend his hand against the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s chosen one<n id="1" /> and remain guiltless?&#8221;

The <sc>Lordsc> rewards each man for his integrity and loyalty.<n id="1" /> Even though today the <sc>Lordsc> delivered you into my hand, I was not willing to extend my hand against the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s chosen one.

But may the <sc>Lordsc> prevent me from extending my hand against the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s chosen one! Now take the spear by Saul&#8217;s head and the jug of water, and let&#8217;s get out of here!&#8221;
