1 Samuel 25:24-26

Expanded Bible

²⁴ She fell at David’s feet and said, “My ·master [lord], let the ·blame [guilt] be on me! Please let ·me [^Lyour maidservant] talk to you. Listen to what ·I [^Lyour maidservant has to] say. 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!
