1 Samuel 25:31-33

Living Bible

^30-31 When the Lord has done all the good things he promised you and has made you king of Israel, you won’t want the conscience of a murderer who took the law into his own hands! And when the Lord has done these great things for you, please remember me!”

³² David replied to Abigail, “Bless the Lord God of Israel who has sent you to meet me today! ³³ Thank God for your good sense! Bless you for keeping me from murdering the man and carrying out vengeance with my own hands.
