1 Samuel 25:24-26

Lexham English Bible

²⁴ She fell at his feet and said, “On me, my lord, be the guilt! Please let your female servant speak to you personally!^[a] Hear the words of your female servant! ²⁵ Please do not let my lord set his heart against this worthless man,^[b] Nabal; for as his name, so is he. Nabal is his name, and stupidity is with him! But I, your female servant, did not see the young men^[c] of my lord whom you sent. ²⁶ So then, my lord, as Yahweh lives and as your soul lives,^[d] since Yahweh restrained you from bloodguilt by taking matters into your own hand,^[e] so then, may your enemies be like Nabal, even those who seek to do my lord harm.^[f]
