2 Samuel 14:16Catholic Public Domain VersionAnd the king listened, and he freed his handmaid from the hand of all who were willing to take away me and my son together, from the inheritance of God. See the chapter |
Now therefore, listen, I beg you, my lord the king, to the words of your servant. If the Lord has stirred you up against me, let him make the sacrifice fragrant. But if the sons of men have done so, they are accursed in the sight of the Lord, who has cast me out this day, so that I would not live within the inheritance of the Lord, saying, 'Go, serve strange gods.'
