1 Samuel 25:29-31

29People may chase after you and try to kill you. But the Lord your God will always keep you safe. He will throw your enemies away like someone who throws a stone from his sling.

30The Lord will surely do for you all the good things that he has promised to do. He will make you the ruler of the Israelites.

31When that happens, you will not feel sorry for something bad that you might have done today. You could have killed people today for no good reason. You could have tried to punish these people yourself. So please remember me when the Lord has helped you to rule as king.’
