29 Should anyone rise up to pursue you and to seek your [a]life, then the [b]life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living with the Lord your God; but the [c]lives of your enemies (A)He will sling out [d]as from the hollow of a sling. 30 And when the Lord does for my lord according to all the good that He has spoken concerning you, and (B)appoints you ruler over Israel, 31 this will not [e]cause grief or a troubled heart to my lord, both by having shed blood without cause and by my lord having [f]avenged himself. (C)When the Lord deals well with my lord, then remember your maidservant.”
