¹⁹ Now therefore, please, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant: If the Lord has ^(A)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, ^(B)for they have driven me out this day from sharing in the ^(C)inheritance of the Lord, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods.’
