29 Should a man arise to pursue you and to seek your life, may the life of my lord be wrapped in the pouch[a] of the living with Yahweh your God. But as for the life of your enemy, he will sling it from within[b] the pocket of the sling! 30 And then[c] when Yahweh has done for my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you as leader over Israel, 31 then this will not be an obstacle for you or a stumbling block of conscience for my lord either by the shedding of blood without cause or by my lord taking matters into his own hands.[d] And when Yahweh does good to my lord, then remember your female servant.”
