And he said {H559} unto his men {H582}, The LORD {H3068} forbid {H2486} that I should do {H6213} this thing {H1697} unto my master {H113}, the LORD'S {H3068} anointed {H4899}, to stretch forth {H7971} mine hand {H3027} against him, seeing he is the anointed {H4899} of the LORD {H3068}.

He said to his men, "ADONAI forbid that I should do such a thing to my lord, ADONAI's anointed, as raise my hand against him! After all, he is ADONAI's anointed."

So he said to his men, “The LORD forbid that I should do such a thing to my master, the LORD’s anointed. May I never lift my hand against him, since he is the LORD’s anointed.”

And he said unto his men, Jehovah forbid that I should do this thing unto my lord, Jehovah’s anointed, to put forth my hand against him, seeing he is Jehovah’s anointed.
