1 Samuel 26:19-21
BRG Bible
19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the Lord have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if they be the children of men, cursed be they before the Lord; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the Lord, saying, Go, serve other gods.
20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the Lord: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.
21 ¶ Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.

1 Samuel 26:19-21
New International Version
19 Now let my lord the king listen(A) to his servant’s words. If the Lord has incited you against me, then may he accept an offering.(B) 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(C) and have said, ‘Go, serve other gods.’(D) 20 Now do not let my blood(E) fall to the ground far from the presence of the Lord. The king of Israel has come out to look for a flea(F)—as one hunts a partridge in the mountains.(G)”
21 Then Saul said, “I have sinned.(H) Come back, David my son. Because you considered my life precious(I) today, I will not try to harm you again. Surely I have acted like a fool and have been terribly wrong.”
