1 Samuel 26:20

Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the LORD: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.

Now therefore, let not my blood {H1818} fall {H5307} to the earth {H776} before the face {H6440} of the LORD {H3068}: for the king {H4428} of Israel {H3478} is come out {H3318} to seek {H1245} a {H259} flea {H6550}, as when one doth hunt {H7291} a partridge {H7124} in the mountains {H2022}.

Now don't let my blood fall on the ground away from the presence of ADONAI. The king of Isra'el has gone out in search of a single flea, as if he were hunting partridge in the mountains!"

So do not let my blood fall to the ground far from the presence of the LORD. For the king of Israel has come out to look for a flea, like one who hunts a partridge in the mountains.”

Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of Jehovah: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.
