1 Samuel 26:17-19
Good News Translation
17 Saul recognized David's voice and asked, “David, is that you, my son?”
“Yes, Your Majesty,” David answered. 18 And he added, “Why, sir, are you still pursuing me, your servant? What have I done? What crime have I committed? 19 Your Majesty, listen to what I have to say. If it is the Lord who has turned you against me, an offering to him will make him change his mind; but if some people have done it, may the Lord's curse fall on them. For they have driven me out from the Lord's land to a country where I can only worship foreign gods.

New International Version
17 Saul recognized David’s voice and said, “Is that your voice,(A) David my son?”
David replied, “Yes it is, my lord the king.” 18 And he added, “Why is my lord pursuing his servant? What have I done, and what wrong(B) am I guilty of? 19 Now let my lord the king listen(C) to his servant’s words. If the Lord has incited you against me, then may he accept an offering.(D) If, however, people have done it, may they be cursed before the Lord! They have driven me today from my share in the Lord’s inheritance(E) and have said, ‘Go, serve other gods.’(F)
