David said furthermore, As the LORD liveth, the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 10 is found in chapter 26 of 1 Samuel. The Ziphites again inform Saul about David’s location. David enters Saul’s camp at night and finds the king asleep with his spear beside him. Abishai proposes killing him, but David again refuses, arguing that he must not destroy the Lord’s anointed. The repetition of the situation from chapter 24 confirms that his earlier decision was not accidental. David establishes a consistent pattern of rejecting political violence as a means of obtaining the throne.
