1 Samuel 24:13-15

International Standard Version

¹³ Just like the ancient proverb says, ‘From wicked people comes wickedness,’ but I’m not against you. ¹⁴ After whom is the king of Israel going out? Whom are you pursuing? A dead dog or a single flea? ¹⁵ May the Lord act as judge, and may he decide between me and you. May he see, may he plead my case, and may he vindicate me in this dispute against you.”^[a]
