1 Samuel 25:27-29

International Standard Version

²⁷ Now let this present that your servant^[a] has brought to your majesty be given to the young men who follow^[b] your majesty. ²⁸ Please forgive the offense of your servant.^[c] For the Lord will certainly make a strong dynasty for your majesty, for your majesty is fighting the Lord’s battles. May evil not be found in you for all of your life.^{[d] 29} If anyone should arise to pursue you and seek your life, may the life of your majesty be bound up with the Lord your God in a bundle of the living, and may he sling out the lives of your enemies from the pocket of a sling.
