And David cried to the people and to Abner, saying, Don't you answer Abner? And David said to Abner, Are you not a valiant man? and who is like unto you in Israel? and why have you not kept the lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord.

And now look where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was there at his bolster ( 1 Samuel 26:14-16 ).
