1 Samuel 26:16 in Context — 1 Samuel 26
14 E deu vozes Davi ao povo, e a Abner filho de Ner, dizendo: Não respondes, Abner? Então Abner respondeu e disse: Quem és tu que dás vozes ao rei?
15 E disse Davi a Abner: Não és tu homem? E quem há como tu em Israel? Por que, pois, não guardaste ao teu senhor, o rei? Pois entrou um do povo para matar ao teu senhor, o rei.
16 Isto que fizeste não está bem. Vive o SENHOR, que sois dignos de morte, que não guardastes a vosso senhor, ao ungido do SENHOR. Olha, pois, agora onde está a lança do rei, e a botija da água que estava à sua cabeceira.
17 E reconhecendo Saul a voz de Davi, disse: Não é esta tua voz, meu filho Davi? E Davi respondeu: É minha voz, ó rei, meu senhor.
18 E disse: Por que persegue assim meu senhor a seu servo? que fiz? que mal há em minha mão?
