1 Samuel 26:18-20

Expanded Bible

¹⁸ David also said, “Why are you ·chasing me [pursuing your servant], my ·master [lord]? What wrong have I done? What ·evil [crime] ·am I guilty of [^Lis in my hand]? ¹⁹ My ·master [lord] and king, listen to me. If the Lord ·made you angry with [^Lstirred you up/incited you against] me, let him accept an offering. But if people did it, may the Lord curse them! They have ·made me leave [driven me out today from] ·the land the Lord gave me [^Lmy share in the Lord’s inheritance/heritage]. They have told me, ‘Go and ·serve [worship] other gods.’ ²⁰ Now don’t let ·me die [^Lmy blood fall to the ground so] far away from the Lord’s presence. The king of Israel has come out looking for a [^Lsingle] flea! You’re just hunting a ·bird [^Lpartridge] in the mountains!”
