1Sa 25:29 — Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling.

Phrase from KJV (Help)		Correlating Verses

bound	The metaphors in this verse are derived from the consideration, that things of value are collected together, and often tied up in bundles, like sheaves of corn, to prevent their being scattered and lost, and that whatever is put into a sling is not intended to be preserved, but to be thrown away. 1Sa 2:9; Gen 15:1; Deu 33:29; Psa 66:9; Psa 116:15; Mal 3:17; Mat 10:29,30
