18 And he said to David: 'You are more just than I am. For you have distributed good to me, but I have repaid evil to you.
19 And you have revealed this day the good that you have done for me: how the Lord delivered me into your hand, but you did not kill me.
20 For who, when he will have found his enemy, will release him along a good path? So may the Lord repay you for this good turn, because you have acted on my behalf this day.
21 And now I know certainly that you shall be king, and you shall have the kingdom of Israel in your hand.
22 Swear to me in the Lord that you will not take away my offspring after me, nor take away my name from the house of my father.'
