1 Samuel 26:19-20

New English Translation

¹⁹ So let my lord the king now listen to the words of his servant. If the Lord has incited you against me, may he take delight in^[a] an offering. But if men have instigated this,^[b] may they be cursed before the Lord! For they have driven me away this day from being united with the Lord’s inheritance, saying, ‘Go on, serve other gods!’ ²⁰ Now don’t let my blood fall to the ground away from the Lord’s presence, for the king of Israel has gone out to look for a flea the way one looks for a partridge^[c] in the hill country.”
