1 Samuel 26:17

In context

15And David said to Abner, not thou a man? and who like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord.

16This thing not good that thou hast done. the LORD liveth, ye worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the LORD'S anointed. And now see where the king's spear , and the cruse of water that at his bolster.

17And Saul knew David's voice, and said, this thy voice, my son David? And David said, my voice, my lord, O king.

18And he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil in mine hand?

19Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the LORD have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if the children of men, cursed they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods.
