1 SAMUEL 24:6 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he said unto his men, The Lord forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the Lord’s anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the Lord.”
And the men of David said to him, This is the day of which the LORD said to you, Behold, I will give your enemy into your hand, and you shall do with him as it seems good to you — David's followers' *va'yomru anshey David*, said to him, invoke divine promise, suggesting that this moment fulfills the LORD's word, that destiny has placed Saul in David's power. The *ta'aseh lo k'tov b'einecha*, do with him as it seems good, offers David the ultimate prerogative: the death of his enemy.
