27 Accept this gift(A) your servant has brought to my lord, and let it be given to the young men who follow my lord. 28 Please forgive your servant’s offense,(B) for the Lord is certain to make a lasting dynasty for my lord(C) because he fights the Lord’s battles.(D) Throughout your life, may evil[a] not be found in you.(E)
29 “When someone pursues you and attempts to take your life, my lord’s life will be tucked safely in the place[b] where the Lord your God protects the living. However, He will fling away your enemies’ lives like stones from a sling.(F)

1 Samuel 25:27-29
King James Version
27 And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow my lord.
28 I 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 all thy days.
29 Yet 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, as out of the middle of a sling.
