I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days.

Verse 28 is found in chapter 25 of 1 Samuel. Abigail meets David, bows before him, and asks him not to act out of revenge. She recognizes his future reign and affirms that the Lord is establishing a secure house for David. David accepts the correction and blesses God for sending Abigail to stop him. The scene shows that even David, God’s chosen one, needs correction. Divine providence works through a wise woman who prevents the future king from bearing unnecessary guilt.

Vergib deiner Magd die Übertretung. Denn der HERR wird meinem Herrn ein beständiges Haus machen; denn du führst des HERRN Kriege; und laß kein Böses an dir gefunden werden dein Leben lang.
Y yo te ruego que perdones a tu sierva esta ofensa; pues Jehová de cierto hará casa firme a mi señor, por cuanto mi señor hace las guerras de Jehová, y mal no se ha hallado en ti en tus días.
Te ruego que perdones la ofensa de tu sierva. Sin duda Jehová establecerá una casa duradera para mi señor, porque mi señor pelea las batallas de Jehová. Que no se encuentre maldad en ti durante todos tus días.
Pardonne, je te prie, la faute de ta servante, car l'Eternel fera à mon seigneur une maison stable; pardonne, car mon seigneur soutient les guerres de l'Eternel, et la méchanceté ne se trouvera jamais en toi.
Deh! perdona alla tua servente il suo misfatto; conciossiachè il Signore per certo farà una casa stabile al mio signore; perciocchè il mio signore guerreggia le guerre del Signore, e giammai a’ tuoi dì non è stata trovata malvagità alcuna in te.
Perdoa, pois, à tua serva esta transgressão, porque certamente fará o SENHOR casa firme a meu senhor, porque meu senhor guerreia as guerras do SENHOR, e não se tem achado mal em ti por todos os teus dias,
求你原諒使女的冒犯。耶和華必為我主建立堅固的家,因為我主為耶和華爭戰,並且你一生的日子查不出有甚麼惡來。
