17 Saul recognized David's voice and asked, "Is that your voice, David my son?" [4] David answered, "Yes, my lord the king."

18 He continued: "Why does my lord pursue his servant? What have I done? What evil am I planning?

19 Please, now, let my lord the king listen to the words of his servant. If the Lord has incited you against me, may an offering please the Lord. But if it is the people who have done so, may they be cursed before the Lord. They have driven me away so that today I have no share in the Lord's heritage, [5] but am told: 'Go serve other gods!'
