29. Though men may rise up to pursue you, and to seek your soul, yet the soul of my lord will be bound in the bundle of life with the Lord your God. He will sling out the souls of your enemies, as from the hollow of a sling.
30. It will come to pass, when the Lord has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you prince over Israel,
31. that this shall be no grief to you, nor offence of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. When the Lord has dealt well with my lord, then remember your servant.”
32. David said to Abigail, “Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who sent you today to meet me!
33. Blessed is your discretion, and blessed are you, who have kept me today from blood guiltiness, and from avenging myself with my own hand.
