1 Samuel 26:21 in Context — 1 Samuel 26

19 Rogo, pois, que o rei meu senhor ouça agora as palavras de seu servo. Se o SENHOR te incita contra mim, aceite um sacrifício: mas se forem filhos de homens, malditos eles na presença do SENHOR, que me expulsaram hoje para que não me junte na propriedade do SENHOR, dizendo: Vai, e serve a outros deuses.

20 Não caia, pois agora meu sangue em terra diante do SENHOR: porque saiu o rei de Israel a buscar uma pulga, assim como quem persegue uma perdiz pelos montes.

21 Então disse Saul: Pequei: volta-te, filho meu Davi, que nenhum mal te farei mais, pois que minha vida foi estimada hoje em teus olhos. Eis que eu agi loucamente, e errei em grande maneira.

22 E Davi respondeu, e disse: Eis que a lança do rei; passe aqui um dos criados, e tome-a.

23 E o SENHOR pague a cada um sua justiça e sua lealdade: que o SENHOR havia te entregue hoje em minha mão, mas eu não quis estender minha mão sobre o ungido do SENHOR.
