1 Samuel 25:24-26
New American Standard Bible 1995
24 She fell at his feet and said, “On me [a]alone, my lord, be the blame. And please let your maidservant speak [b]to you, and listen to the words of your maidservant. 25 Please do not let my lord [c]pay attention to this [d]worthless man, Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. [e]Nabal is his name and folly is with him; but I your maidservant did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent.
26 “Now therefore, my lord, as the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, since the Lord has restrained you from [f]shedding blood, and (A)from [g]avenging yourself by your own hand, now then (B)let your enemies and those who seek evil against my lord, be as Nabal.
