New Testament

1 Samuel 24:12-16 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

12. May the Lord judge between us. And may he punish you for the wrong you have done to me! But I won’t fight you.

13. There is an old saying: ‘Evil things come from evil people.’ So I won’t hurt you.

14. Whom is the king of Israel coming out against? Whom are you chasing? You’re not chasing someone who will hurt you! It’s as if you are chasing a dead dog or a flea.

15. May the Lord be our judge and decide between you and me. May the Lord support me and show that I am right. May he save me from you!”

16. David finished saying these words. Then Saul asked, “Is that your voice, David my son?” And he cried loudly.
