On one occasion in the wilderness, David refused to allow Abishai to harm sleeping King Saul, saying: “It is unthinkable, on my part, from Jehovah’s standpoint, to thrust my hand out against the anointed of Jehovah! ”
Reiz tuksnesī Dāvids neatļāva Abišajam nodarīt ļaunu aizmigušajam ķēniņam Saulam, sakot: ” Lai tas Kungs mani visnotaļ no tā pasargā, ka es savu roku paceltu pret tā Kunga svaidīto! ” ( 1. Samuēla 26: 8 — 11.)
