1 Samuel 25:26-27

26Now therefore, my lordH113, as YhwhH3068 livethH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, seeing YhwhH3068 hath withholdenH4513 thee from comingH935 to shed bloodH1818, and from avengingH3467 thyself with thine own handH3027, now let thine enemiesH341, and they that seekH1245 evilH7451 to my lordH113, be as NabalH5037.1
