1 Samuel 26:19-21
Jubilee Bible 2000
19 Now, therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his slave. If the LORD has stirred thee up against me, let him smell the fragrance of an offering, but if they were the sons of men, let them be cursed before the LORD, for they have driven me out this day from joining myself to the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods.
20 Now therefore, do not let my blood fall to the earth before the face of the LORD, for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains.
21 ¶ Then Saul said, I have sinned; return, my son David; for I will do no more harm unto thee because my life was precious in thine eyes today. Behold, I have played the fool and have erred exceedingly.

1 Samuel 26:19-21
New International Version
19 Now let my lord the king listen(A) to his servant’s words. If the Lord has incited you against me, then may he accept an offering.(B) If, however, people have done it, may they be cursed before the Lord! They have driven me today from my share in the Lord’s inheritance(C) and have said, ‘Go, serve other gods.’(D) 20 Now do not let my blood(E) fall to the ground far from the presence of the Lord. The king of Israel has come out to look for a flea(F)—as one hunts a partridge in the mountains.(G)”
21 Then Saul said, “I have sinned.(H) Come back, David my son. Because you considered my life precious(I) today, I will not try to harm you again. Surely I have acted like a fool and have been terribly wrong.”
