14 And David (beloved) shouted to the troops and to Abner (my father is a lamp) son of Ner (lamp), “Will you not answer me, Abner?” “Who are you who calls to the king?” Abner replied. 15 So David (beloved) said to Abner (my father is a lamp), “You are a man, aren’t you? And who in Israel (he wrestles with God) is your equal? Why then did you not protect your lord the king when one of the people came to destroy him? 16 This thing you have done is not good. As surely as the LORD {YHWH} lives, all of you⁺ deserve to die, since you⁺ did not protect your⁺ lord, the LORD’s anointed. Now look around. Where are the king’s spear and water jug that were by his head?” 1 Samuel 26:14-16, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
