1 Samuel 26
David and Abishai secretly went to King Saul’s camp in the night while all were sleeping. Abishai wanted to kill King Saul but David stopped him because King Saul was God’s anointed and no one should lay a hand on him except for the Lord. So they took King Saul’s spear and water jug. David spared Saul’s life and Saul realized and confessed.
Lesson you can learn is not to touch the Lord’s anointed one, whether in speech or action. They are God chosen people and respect and honor them.
God’s promise for us in V23 – The Lord rewards every man for his righteousness and faithfulness.
