2 Samuel

And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:

He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

And he said, Be it far from me, O Lord, that I should do this: is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.
