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.

Verse 11 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.

so lasse der HERR ferne von mir sein, daß ich meine Hand sollte an den Gesalbten des HERRN legen. So nimm nun den Spieß zu seinen Häupten und den Wasserbecher und laß uns gehen.
Guardeme Jehová de extender mi mano contra el ungido de Jehová; empero toma ahora la lanza que está a su cabecera, y la botija del agua, y vámonos.
Que Jehová me libre de extender mi mano contra el ungido de Jehová. Ahora toma la lanza que está a su cabecera y la jarra de agua, y vámonos».
Loin de moi, par l'Eternel! de porter la main sur l'oint de l'Eternel! Prends seulement la lance qui est à son chevet, avec la cruche d'eau, et allons-nous-en.
Tolga il Signore da me che io metta la mano addosso all’Unto del Signore; ma ora prendi, ti prego, questa lancia ch’è presso a lui dal capo, e il vaso dell’acqua, e andiamocene.
O SENHOR me guarde, de que eu estenda a mão contra o ungido do SENHOR; agora, porém, toma a lança que está à sua cabeceira e a bilha de água, e vamo-nos.
耶和華絕不允許我伸手害耶和華的受膏者。現在你可以把他頭旁的槍和水壺拿來,我們就走。」
