24 And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king H4428 ; and he had neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king H4428 departed until the day he came home in peace. 25 And it came H935 to pass , when he was come H935 to Jerusalem to meet the king H4428 , that the king H4428 said unto him , Wherefore wentest not thou with me , Mephibosheth H4648 ? 26 And he answered , My lord, O king H4428 , my servant deceived me : for thy servant said H559 , I will saddle me an ass, that I may ride thereon, and go H1980 with the king H4428 ; because thy servant is lame. 27 And he hath slandered thy servant H5650 unto my lord H113 the king H4428 ; but my lord H113 the king H4428 is as an angel of God : do therefore what is good in thine eyes. 28 For all my father’s house were but dead men before my lord H113 the king H4428 ; yet didst thou set thy servant H5650 among them that did eat at thine own H5869 table. What right therefore have I yet that I should cry any more unto the king H4428 ? 29 And the king H4428 said unto him , Why H4100 speakest thou any more of thy matters? I say, Thou and Ziba divide the land. 30 And Mephibosheth said H559 unto the king H4428 , yea, let him take all , forasmuch as my lord the king H4428 is come in peace unto his own house.
