1 Samuel 25:25-27

Lexham English Bible

²⁵ Please do not let my lord set his heart against this worthless man,^[a] Nabal; for as his name, so is he. Nabal is his name, and stupidity is with him! But I, your female servant, did not see the young men^[b] of my lord whom you sent. ²⁶ So then, my lord, as Yahweh lives and as your soul lives,^[c] since Yahweh restrained you from bloodguilt by taking matters into your own hand,^[d] so then, may your enemies be like Nabal, even those who seek to do my lord harm.^{[e] 27} So then, this gift which your female servant has brought to my lord, may it be given to the young men who follow my lord.^[f]
