1 Samuel 26:17-19

New Catholic Bible

¹⁷ Saul recognized David’s voice, and he said, “Is this the voice of my son David?” David answered, “It is my voice, my lord, O king.” ¹⁸ He continued, “Why is my lord chasing after his servant? What have I done? What wrongdoing have I committed? ¹⁹ Now may my lord, the king, listen to the words of his servant. If the Lord has incited you against me, may he now accept an offering.^[a] If it was done by humans, may they be cursed by the Lord. They have driven me out of the Lord’s inheritance, saying, ‘Go serve other gods.’
