1 Samuel 26:13-20
13Then DavidH1732 crossedH5674 overH5674 to the otherH5676 sideH5676 and stoodH5975 on topH7218 of the mountainH2022 at a distanceH7350 with a largeH7227 areaH4725 betweenH996 them. 14And DavidH1732 calledH7121 to the peopleH5971 and to AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, sayingH559, “Will you not answerH6030, AbnerH74?” Then AbnerH74 repliedH6030, “WhoH4310 are you who callsH7121 to the kingH4428?” 15So DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbnerH74, “Are you not a manH376? And whoH4310 is likeH3644 you in IsraelH3478? WhyH4100 then have you not guardedH8104 your lordH113 the kingH4428? For oneH259 of the peopleH5971 cameH935 to 1killH7843 the kingH4428 your lordH113! 16ThisH2088 thingH1697 that you have doneH6213 is not goodH2896. As the LordH3068 livesH2416, all of you undoubtedlyH3588 23mustH1121 dieH4194, becauseH834 you did not guardH8104 your lordH113, the Lord’sH3068 anointedH4899. And nowH6258, seeH7200 whereH335 the king’sH4428 spearH2595 is and the jugH6835 of waterH4325 that was atH4763 his headH4763!”
17Then SaulH7586 recognizedH5234 David’sH1732 voiceH6963 and saidH559, “4Is thisH2088 your voiceH6963, my sonH1121 DavidH1732?” And DavidH1732 saidH559, “It is my voiceH6963, my lordH113 the kingH4428.” 18He also saidH559, “5WhyH4100 thenH2088 is my lordH113 pursuingH7291H310 his servantH5650? For whatH4100 have I doneH6213? Or whatH4100 evilH7463 is in my handH3027? 19NowH6258 then, pleaseH4994 let my lordH113 the kingH4428 listenH8085 to the wordsH1697 of his servantH5650. IfH518 6the LordH3068 has incitedH5496 you against me, 7may He 8acceptH7381 an offeringH4503; but 9ifH518 it is 10peopleH1121H120, cursedH779 11are they beforeH6440 the LordH3068, becauseH3588 12they have drivenH1644 me outH1644 todayH3117 soH4480 thatH4480 I would have noH4480 shareH5596 in the inheritanceH5159 of the LordH3068, sayingH559, ‘GoH1980, serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430.’ 20NowH6258 then, do not let my bloodH1818 fallH5307 to the groundH776 farH5048 from the presenceH6440 of the LordH3068; for the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 has comeH3318 outH3318 to searchH1245 for 13a singleH259 fleaH6550, justH3512 asH3512 one huntsH7291 a partridgeH7124 in the mountainsH2022.”
