I Samuel 25:28

Forgive the iniquity of thy handmaid: for the Lord will surely make for my lord a faithful house, *because thou, my lord, fightest the battles of the Lord: let not evil therefore be found in thee all the days of thy life.

House. Thy family shall long continue in the enjoyment of the royal power. Chaldean, "an established kingdom." (Haydock) --- Lord, as his general. --- Evil. Do no manner of injustice. Hebrew, "and evil hast not been found," etc. Hitherto thy life has been irreproachable. (Calmet)
