09:024:014 After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost
           thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.

09:024:015 The lord therefore be judge, and judge between me and thee,
           and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thine hand.

09:024:016 And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking
           these words unto Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my
           son David?  And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.

09:024:017 And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I:  for thou
           hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil.

09:024:018 And thou hast shewed this day how that thou hast dealt well
           with me:  forasmuch as when the lord had delivered me into
           thine hand, thou killedst me not.

09:024:019 For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away?
           wherefore the lord reward thee good for that thou hast done
           unto me this day.

09:024:020 And now, behold, I know well that thou shalt surely be king,
           and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thine
           hand.

09:024:021 Swear now therefore unto me by the lord, that thou wilt not
           cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my
           name out of my father’s house.

09:024:022 And David sware unto Saul.  And Saul went home; but David and
           his men gat them up unto the hold.

09:025:001 And Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered
           together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at
           Ramah.  And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of
           Paran.

09:025:002 And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel;
           and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep,
           and a thousand goats:  and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

09:025:003 Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife
           Abigail:  and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a
           beautiful countenance:  but the man was churlish and evil in
           his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.

09:025:004 And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his
           sheep.

09:025:005 And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the
           young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet
           him in my name: 

09:025:006 And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace
           be both to thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be
           unto all that thou hast.

09:025:007 And now I have heard that thou hast shearers:  now thy
           shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was
           there ought missing unto them, all the while they were in
           Carmel.
