TSK · Proverbs 17:13

The Philistines stayed right on the heels of Saul and his sons. They struck down Saul’s sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malki-Shua.

The Gibeonites Demand Revenge During David’s reign there was a famine for three consecutive years. So David inquired of the LORD. The LORD said,“It is because of Saul and his bloodstained family, because he murdered the Gibeonites.”

They repay me evil for the good I have done; though I have tried to do good to them, they hurl accusations at me.

They repay my love with accusations, but I continue to pray.

Should good be paid back with evil? Yet they are virtually digging a pit to kill me. Just remember how I stood before you pleading on their behalf to keep you from venting your anger on them.

In reply all the people said,“Let his blood be on us and on our children!”

See that no one pays back evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good for one another and for all.
