1 Samuel 25:24-26

International Children’s Bible

²⁴ She lay at David’s feet. She said, “My master, let the blame be on me! Please let me talk to you! Listen to what I say. ²⁵ My master, don’t pay attention to this worthless man Nabal. He is the same as his name. His name means ‘fool,’ and he is truly foolish. But I, your servant, didn’t see the men you sent. ²⁶ The Lord has kept you from killing and punishing people yourself. As surely as the Lord lives and as surely as you live, may your enemies become like Nabal!
