1 Samuel 26:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ And Saul knew David's voice, and said: Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said: It is my voice, my lord the king.

¹⁸ And he said: Wherefore doth my lord persecute his servant? What have I done? or what evil is there in my hand?

¹⁹ Now therefore hear, I pray thee, my lord the king, the words of thy servant: If the Lord stir thee up against me, let him accept of sacrifice: but if the sons of men, they are cursed in the sight of the Lord, who have cast me out this day, that I should not dwell in the inheritance of the Lord, saying: Go, serve strange gods.
