Names of God Bible
19 Your Majesty, please listen to my words. If Yahweh has turned you against me, let him be satisfied with an offering. But if mere mortals have turned you against me, let them be cursed by Yahweh. They have prevented me from having a share of Yahweh’s inheritance. ‘Go and serve other gods,’ they tell me. 20 Don’t let my blood fall to the ground, away from Yahweh’s presence. The king of Israel has come to search for one flea like someone hunting a partridge in the hills.”
21 “My servant David,” Saul said, “I have sinned. Come back. I will not harm you again, because you valued my life today. I’ve acted like a fool and made a terrible mistake.”

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.”
