1 Samuel 26:18-20
Christian Standard Bible
18 Then he continued, “Why is my lord pursuing his servant? What have I done? What crime have I committed?(A) 19 Now, may my lord the king please hear the words of his servant: If it is the Lord who has incited you against me,(B) then may he accept an offering.(C) But if it is people,(D) may they be cursed in the presence of the Lord, for today they have banished me from sharing in the inheritance of the Lord, saying,(E) ‘Go and worship other gods.’ 20 So don’t let my blood fall to the ground far from the Lord’s presence, for the king of Israel has come out to search for a single flea,(F) like one who pursues a partridge in the mountains.”
