1 Samuel 26:18–203 matched frames

Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

A 18 And he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in mine hand?
- B 19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant.
  - C 19 If the LORD have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering:
  - C' 19 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.
- B' 20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the LORD:
A' 20 for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.
