1 Samuel 25:28-31

English Standard Version

²⁸ Please forgive the trespass of your servant. For the Lord will certainly make my lord ^(A)a sure house, because my lord ^(B)is fighting the battles of the Lord, and evil shall not be found in you so long as you live. ²⁹ If men rise up to pursue you and to seek your life, the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living in the care of the Lord your God. And the lives of your enemies ^(C)he shall sling out as from the hollow of a sling. ³⁰ And when the Lord has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you and has appointed you prince^[a] over Israel, ³¹ my lord shall have no cause of grief or pangs of conscience for having shed blood without cause or for my lord ^(D)working salvation himself. And when the Lord has dealt well with my lord, then remember your servant.”
