ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૨૬:૧૨
તેથી દાઉદે ભાલો તથા પાણીનું પાત્ર શાઉલના માથા પાસેથી લઈ લીધાં અને તેઓ ત્યાંથી જતા રહ્યા. કોઈએ તે વિશે જોયું નહિ કે જાણ્યું નહિ, કોઈ જાગ્યો નહિ; કેમ કે ઈશ્વરે તેમને ગાઢ નિદ્રામાં નાખ્યા હતા.
हिन्दी1 शमूएल २६:१२
तब दाऊद ने भाले और पानी की सुराही को शाऊल के सिरहाने से उठा लिया; और वे चले गए। और किसी ने इसे न देखा, और न जाना, और न कोई जागा; क्योंकि वे सब इस कारण सोए हुए थे, कि यहोवा की ओर से उनमें भारी नींद समा गई थी।
