1 Samuel 25:26-28

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁶ So now, my lord, as the Lord lives and as your soul lives, seeing that the Lord has prevented you from bloodguiltiness and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now let your enemies and those who seek to do evil to my lord be as Nabal.

²⁷ And now this gift, which your handmaid has brought my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.

²⁸ Forgive, I pray you, the trespass of your handmaid, for the Lord will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord is fighting the Lord’s battles, and evil has not been found in you all your days.
