In Context

14 and David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, |Don't you answer, Abner?| Then Abner answered, |Who are you who cries to the king?|

15 David said to Abner, |Aren't you a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord, the king? For one of the people came in to destroy the king your lord.

16 This thing isn't good that you have done. As Yahweh lives, you are worthy to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, Yahweh's anointed. Now see where the king's spear is, and the jar of water that was at his head.|

17 Saul knew David's voice, and said, |Is this your voice, my son David?| David said, |It is my voice, my lord, O king.|

18 He said, |Why does my lord pursue after his servant? For what have I done? Or what evil is in my hand?

19 Now therefore, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is so that Yahweh has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering. But if it is the children of men, they are cursed before Yahweh; for they have driven me out this day that I shouldn't cling to Yahweh's inheritance, saying, 'Go, serve other gods!'
