14. David called to the army and Abner son of Ner, Will you answer, Abner? Abner replied, Who are you, calling [and disturbing] the king?
15. David said to Abner, Are you not a valiant man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not guarded your lord the king? For one of the people came in [to your camp] to destroy the king your lord.
16. This thing is not good that you have done. As the Lord lives, you deserve to die, because you have not guarded your master, the Lord's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is and the bottle of water that was at his head.
17. And Saul knew David's voice and said, Is this your voice, my son David? And David said, My voice, my lord O king!
18. And David said, Why does my lord thus pursue his servant? What have I done? Or what evil is in my hand [tonight]?
