1 Samuel 24:19-21

Contemporary English Version

¹⁹ If you really were my enemy, you wouldn't have let me leave here alive. I pray that the Lord will give you a big reward for what you did today.

²⁰ I realize now that you will be the next king, and a powerful king at that. ²¹ Promise me with the Lord as your witness, that you won't wipe out my descendants. Let them live to keep my family name alive.
