1 Samuel 26:18-21 Moreover he said, Why doth my lord pursue after his servant? For wherein have I offended, or what iniquity is there found in me?

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ Moreover he said, Why doth my lord pursue after his servant? For wherein have I offended, or what iniquity is there found in me? ¹⁹ Now therefore let my lord the king hear the word of his servant. If God stirreth thee up against me, let thy sacrifice be fragrant: bat if the sons of men; cursed be they before the Lord; for they have now driven me out from abiding securely in the inheritance of the Lord, saying, Go, serve other gods. ²⁰ Now therefore, let not my blood fall on the land before the face of the Lord, because the king of Israel is come out to seek my life, as the night hawk pursueth on the mountains. ²¹ Then Saul said, I have sinned. Return, my son David; for I will no more do thee harm; because my life hath been precious in thy sight, at the very time when I was led astray by folly, and egregiously mistaken.
