1 Samuel 26:16

This thing [is] not good that thou hast done. [As] the LORD liveth, ye [are] worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the LORD'S anointed. And now see where the king's spear [is], and the cruse of water that [was] at his bolster.

This thing {H1697} is not good {H2896} that thou hast done {H6213}. As the LORD {H3068} liveth {H2416}, ye are worthy {H1121} to die {H4194}, because ye have not kept {H8104} your master {H113}, the LORD'S {H3068} anointed {H4899}. And now see {H7200} where the king's {H4428} spear {H2595} is, and the cruse {H6835} of water {H4325} that was at his bolster {H4763}.

It's not good, what you've done! As ADONAI lives, you deserve to die; because you didn't keep watch over your lord, ADONAI's anointed. And now, see where the king's spear is, and the jug of water that was next to his head!"

This thing you have done is not good. As surely as the LORD 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?”

This thing is not good that thou hast done. As Jehovah liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not kept watch over your lord, Jehovah’s anointed. And now see where the king’s spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his head.
