1 Samuel 24:12-15

Christian Standard Bible

¹² “May the Lord judge between me and you, and may the Lord take vengeance on you for me, but my hand will never be against you.^{(A) 13} As the old proverb says, ‘Wickedness comes from wicked people.’^(B) My hand will never be against you. ¹⁴ Who has the king of Israel come after? What are you chasing after? A dead dog? A single flea?^{(C) 15} May the Lord be judge and decide between you and me. May he take notice and plead my case and deliver^[a] me from you.”^(D)
