Deuteronomy 23:15
◄  Deuteronomy 23:15  ►
You shall not deliver to his master the servant which is escaped from his master to you:

To such they were commanded to afford shelter, and shew great kindness.

1 Samuel 30:15 And David said to him, Can you bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear to me by God, that you will neither kill me...

Obadiah 1:14 Neither should you have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape...
