1 Samuel 25:29-31
Lexham English Bible
29 Should a man arise to pursue you and to seek your life, may the life of my lord be wrapped in the pouch[a] of the living with Yahweh your God. But as for the life of your enemy, he will sling it from within[b] the pocket of the sling! 30 And then[c] when Yahweh has done for my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you as leader over Israel, 31 then this will not be an obstacle for you or a stumbling block of conscience for my lord either by the shedding of blood without cause or by my lord taking matters into his own hands.[d] And when Yahweh does good to my lord, then remember your female servant.”

New International Version
29 Even though someone is pursuing you to take your life,(A) the life of my lord will be bound securely in the bundle of the living by the Lord your God, but the lives of your enemies he will hurl(B) away as from the pocket of a sling.(C) 30 When the Lord has fulfilled for my lord every good thing he promised concerning him and has appointed him ruler(D) over Israel, 31 my lord will not have on his conscience the staggering burden of needless bloodshed or of having avenged himself. And when the Lord your God has brought my lord success, remember(E) your servant.”(F)
