1 Samuel 26:18-20

Modern English Version

¹⁸ He said, “Why is my lord pursuing after his servant? For what have I done? Or what evil is in my hand? ¹⁹ Now please let my lord king hear the words of his servant. If the Lord has stirred you up against me, let Him accept an offering. But if it was the sons of men, cursed are they before the Lord. For they have driven me today from having a share in the inheritance of the Lord, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods.’ ²⁰ Now do not let my blood fall to the ground away from the presence of the Lord. Truly the king of Israel has come out to seek a single flea, as when one pursues a partridge in the mountains.”
