1 Samuel 26:20-22

Contemporary English Version

²⁰ Don't let me die in a land far away from the Lord. I'm no more important than a flea! Why should the king of Israel hunt me down as if I were a bird in the mountains?”

²¹ “David, you had the chance to kill me today. But you didn't. I was very wrong about you. It was a terrible mistake for me to try to kill you. I've acted like a fool, but I'll never try to harm you again. You're like a son to me, so please come back.”

²² “Your Majesty, here's your spear! Let one of your soldiers come and get it.
