1 Samuel 25:26
King James Version
“Now therefore, my lord, the LORD liveth, and thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from coming to blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.”
Context
23And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,
24And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, me iniquity and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid.
25Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, Nabal: for as his name so he; Nabal his name, and folly with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.
26Now therefore, my lord, the LORD liveth, and thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from coming to blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
27And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow my lord.
28I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been found in thee thy days.
29Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, of the middle of a sling.
