1 Chronicles 16:19-22

19 When they were but few in number, few indeed, and strangers in it,

20 they^[a] wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.

21 He allowed no one to oppress them; for their sake he rebuked kings:

22 “Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm.”
