And David's men said to him, This is the day of which Jehovah has said to you, Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, that you may do to him as is pleasing in your eyes. And David arose and secretly cut off the skirt of Saul's robe.

Behold, this day your eyes have seen that Jehovah has delivered you today into my hand in the cave, and some had intended to kill you. But my eye spared you, and I said, I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the anointed of Jehovah.

Then Abishai said to David, God has delivered your enemy into your hand this day. Now therefore, please, let me strike him with the spear, into the earth one time; and I will not strike him again.

Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please, let me go over and take off his head!

But the king said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? So let him curse, because Jehovah has said to him, Curse David. Who then shall say, Why have you done so?

But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the anointed of Jehovah?

And David said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should be adversaries to me today? Shall any man be put to death today in Israel? For do I not know that today I am king over Israel?

Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Please let me go, and I will kill Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know. Why should he kill you so that all the Jews who are gathered to you should be scattered, and the remnant in Judah perish?

But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Johanan the son of Kareah, You shall not do this thing, for you speak falsely of Ishmael.

And when His disciples Jacob and John saw this, they said, Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from Heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?

But He turned and rebuked them, and said, You do not know what sort of spirit you are of.

And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

But Jesus answered and said, Permit even this. And He touched his ear and healed him.

Why do you persecute me as the Mighty God does, and are not satisfied with my flesh?

When the wicked, my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

Let them not say in their hearts, Aha! Our Soul! Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

If they say, Walk with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause,

let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, and whole, as those who go down into the Pit,

And they lie in wait for their own blood; they lurk secretly for their own souls.

You who hate good and love evil, who tear their skin off them, and their flesh from off their bones;

who also eat the flesh of My people, and flay their skin off from them; and they break their bones and chop them in pieces as for the pot, and as flesh in the kettle.
