I Chronicles​ 16

1 Chronicles 16:22: 
Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

"Touch not My anointed." Chances are you’ve heard this weird doctrine based on 1 Chronicles 16:22. In an attempt to discourage any form of disagreement in the church, insecure leaders tell their members that if they ever question church authority, they are “touching the Lord’s anointed” and in danger of God’s judgment. Let’s call this what it is: spiritual manipulation. It creates worse problems by ruling out healthy discussion and mutual respect. Church members end up being abused or controlled—or even blacklisted because they dare to ask a question. (SOURCE: Lee Brady: : "6 Really Bad Charismatic Doctrines We Should Retire")

​First of all this phrase is actually a verse from a shirah (song) of Asaph embedded into the account of the return of the Aron Kodesh (ark) to the ohel (tent) as given in Divrei Hayamim (Chronicles). We need to begin with that as an understanding of the type of literature we are reading. Compare Psalm 105:15.

Secondly, the passage in question refers not to prophets of the LORD in the New Covenant sense, but to the original patriarchs - and is most likely a direct reference to when Avimelekh (Abimelech) was rebuked by the LORD in a dream not to touch Sarah (see Genesis 20:2-ff).

Third, quoting this verse as a means of justifying any sort of special entitlement for oneself (or others) entirely misses the point of the Mashiach Yeshua's teachings about "servant leadership": Whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. (Mark 10:44) [SOURCE: John J Parson: Touch Not My Anointed]
