29. If any adversary pursues you to seek your life, may the life of my lord be bound in the bundle of the living in the care of the Lord your God; may God hurl out the lives of your enemies as from the hollow of a sling.
30. And when the Lord fulfills for my lord the promise of success he has made concerning you, and appoints you as ruler over Israel,
31. you shall not have any regrets or burdens on your conscience, my lord, for having shed innocent blood or for having rescued yourself. When the Lord bestows good on my lord, remember your maidservant.”
32. David said to Abigail: “Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who sent you to meet me today.
33. Blessed is your good judgment and blessed are you yourself. Today you have prevented me from shedding blood and rescuing myself with my own hand.
