1 Samuel 26:10

²⁹The time came near that Israel must die, and he called his son Joseph, and said to him, “If now I have found favor in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me. Please don’t bury me in Egypt,

¹⁹Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.”

¹⁴The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, your days approach that you must die. Call Joshua, and present yourselves in the Tent of Meeting, that I may commission him.” Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the Tent of Meeting.

³⁸About ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal, so that he died.

⁶So Saul died with his three sons, his armor bearer, and all his men that same day together.

¹³The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming.

²⁶Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, since the LORD has withheld you from blood guiltiness and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now therefore let your enemies and those who seek evil to my lord be as Nabal.

³⁵Vengeance is mine, and recompense, at the time when their foot slides, for the day of their calamity is at hand. Their doom rushes at them.”

²⁷Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment,

⁷Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
