1 Samuel 26:19

Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the LORD have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if [they be] the children of men, cursed [be] they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods.

Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord {H113} the king {H4428} hear {H8085} the words {H1697} of his servant {H5650}. If the LORD {H3068} have stirred thee up {H5496} against me, let him accept {H7306} an offering {H4503}: but if they be the children {H1121} of men {H120}, cursed {H779} be they before {H6440} the LORD {H3068}; for they have driven {H1644} me out this day {H3117} from abiding {H5596} in the inheritance {H5159} of the LORD {H3068}, saying {H559}, Go {H3212}, serve {H5647} other {H312} gods {H430}.

Please, now, may my lord the king hear what his servant is saying. If it is ADONAI who has stirred you up against me, let him receive an offering. But if it's human beings, then a curse on them before ADONAI! - because, as things stand today, they have driven me out, so that I can no longer share in ADONAI's inheritance - they've said, 'Go, serve other gods!'

Now please, may my lord the king hear the words of his servant: If the LORD has stirred you up against me, then may He accept an offering. But if men have done it, may they be cursed in the presence of the LORD! For today they have driven me away from sharing in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods.’

Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it be Jehovah that hath stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if it be the children of men, cursed be they before Jehovah; for they have driven me out this day that I should not cleave unto the inheritance of Jehovah, saying, Go, serve other gods.
