Those who pay back evil for good are against me because I try to do right.

and they say evil things about me, attacking me for no reason.

They pay me back evil for good and hatred for love.

Jonathan praised David to Saul and said, "Sir, don't do wrong to your servant David. He has never done you any wrong; on the contrary, everything he has done has been a great help to you.

He risked his life when he killed Goliath, and the LORD won a great victory for Israel. When you saw it, you were glad. Why, then, do you now want to do wrong to an innocent man and kill David for no reason at all?"

But Saul sent them back to see David for themselves. He ordered them, "Carry him here in his bed, and I will kill him."

Saul asked him, "Why are you and David plotting against me? Why did you give him some food and a sword, and consult God for him? Now he has turned against me and is waiting for a chance to kill me!"

Ahimelech answered, "David is the most faithful officer you have! He is your own son-in-law, captain of your bodyguard, and highly respected by everyone in the royal court.

If you repay good with evil, you will never get evil out of your house.

Is evil the payment for good? Yet they have dug a pit for me to fall in. Remember how I came to you and spoke on their behalf, so that you would not deal with them in anger.

Jesus said to them, "I have done many good deeds in your presence which the Father gave me to do; for which one of these do you want to stone me?"

Don't you realize that as long as David is alive, you will never be king of this country? Now go and bring him here---he must die!"

At that, Saul threw his spear at Jonathan to kill him, and Jonathan realized that his father was really determined to kill David.

But they shouted back, "Crucify him! Crucify him!"

But they kept on shouting at the top of their voices that Jesus should be crucified, and finally their shouting succeeded.
