1 Samuel 26:18-20
New King James Version
18 And he said, (A)“Why does my lord thus pursue his servant? For what have I done, or what evil is in my hand? 19 Now therefore, please, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant: If the Lord has (B)stirred you up against me, let Him accept an offering. But if it is the children of men, may they be cursed before the Lord, (C)for they have driven me out this day from sharing in the (D)inheritance of the Lord, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods.’ 20 So now, do not let my blood fall to the earth before the face of the Lord. For the king of Israel has come out to seek (E)a flea, as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains.”
