1 Samuel 26:19

The Lord — If the Lord hath by the evil spirit which he hath sent, or by his secret providence, directed thy rage against me for the punishment of thine, or my sins. An offering — Let us offer up a sacrifice to God to appease his wrath against us. Driven me — From the land which God hath given to his people for their inheritance, and where he hath established his presence and worship. Go serve — This was the language of their actions. For by driving him from God's land, and the place of his worship, into foreign and idolatrous lands, they exposed him to the peril of being either ensnared by their counsels, or examples; or forced by their power to worship idols.
