1 Samuel 25:25-27

Expanded Bible

²⁵ My ·master [lord], [^Lplease] don’t ·pay attention to [^Lset your heart/mind on] this worthless man Nabal. He is like his name. His name means ·‘fool’ [‘brute’], and he is truly a ·fool [brute]. But I, your servant, didn’t see the men you sent. ²⁶ The Lord has kept you from killing and ·punishing anyone [taking revenge/vengeance by your own hand]. As surely as the Lord lives and as surely as you live, may your enemies [^Land those who seek to harm my lord] become like Nabal! ²⁷ ·I [^LYour maidservant] have brought a gift to you for the men who follow you.
