¹⁹ Now therefore, please let my lord the king listen to the words of his servant. If ^(A)the Lord has stirred you up against me, ^(B)let Him ^[a]accept an offering; but ^(C)if it is ^[b]men, cursed are they before the Lord, for ^(D)they have driven me out today so that I would have no attachment with the inheritance of the Lord, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods.’

¹⁶ For the king will hear ^[a]and deliver his maidservant from the ^[b]hand of the man who would destroy ^[c]both me and my son from ^(A)the inheritance of God.’

³ Thus David said to the Gibeonites, “What should I do for you? And how can I make atonement that you may bless ^(A)the inheritance of the Lord?”
