Strong's Concordance

He took his life in his hands when he struck down the Philistine,  and the LORD brought about a great victory for all Israel.  You saw it and rejoiced, so why would you sin against innocent blood by killing David for no reason? ” 

New American Standard Bible
"For he took his life in his hand and struck the Philistine, and the LORD brought about a great deliverance for all Israel; you saw [it] and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood by putting David to death without a cause?"

King James Bible
For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest [it], and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?
