And David said to Abner, Art not thou a valiant man? and who is like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord.

Verse 15 is found in chapter 26 of 1 Samuel. From a safe distance, David confronts Saul and demonstrates that once again he could have killed him. David accuses those around the king of failing to protect him properly, but avoids turning the situation into an execution. He also asks why Saul is pursuing someone who poses no legitimate threat. David’s defense combines respect for the king with a denunciation of unjust persecution. The future ruler leaves the outcome to God.
