1 Samuel 25:27-29

New English Translation

²⁷ Now let this present^[a] that your servant has brought to my lord be given to the servants who follow^[b] my lord. ²⁸ Please forgive the sin of your servant, for the Lord will certainly establish a lasting dynasty for my lord, because my lord fights the battles of the Lord. May no evil be found in you all your days! ²⁹ When someone sets out to chase you and to take your life, the life of my lord will be wrapped securely in the bag^[c] of the living by the Lord your God. But he will sling away the lives of your enemies from the sling’s pocket!
