1 Samuel 25:26-28

Expanded Bible

²⁶ The Lord has kept you from killing and ·punishing anyone [taking revenge/vengeance by your own hand]. As surely as the Lord lives and as surely as you live, may your enemies [^Land those who seek to harm my lord] become like Nabal! ²⁷ ·I [^LYour maidservant] have brought a gift to you for the men who follow you. ²⁸ Please forgive ·my [^Lyour maidservant’s] ·wrong [offense; transgression]. The Lord will certainly ·let your family have many kings [make a lasting/enduring dynasty/house for my lord; 2 Sam. 7], because you fight ·his [^Lthe Lord’s] battles. As long as you live, ·may you do nothing bad [^Lno evil/wrong will be found in you].
