2 Samuel 19:17-30 17 And there were a thousand men H376 of Benjamin with him , and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons H1121 and his twenty servants with him ; and they forded the Jordan before the king H4428 . 18 And a ferry boat passed to and fro to carry over the king's household H1004 , and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son H1121 of Gera fell down before the king H4428 as he was [just] crossing over the Jordan H3383 . 19 And he said to the king H4428 , Let not my lord impute iniquity to me , neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely the day that my lord the king H4428 went out of Jerusalem, that the king H4428 should take it to heart. 21 And Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Should not Shimei be put to death for this , because he cursed Jehovah's anointed? 22 And David said H559 , What have I to do with you , ye sons H1121 of Zeruiah H6870 , that ye should this day be adversaries to me ? Should there any man be put יוּמַ֖ת yu.Mat H4191 to death י֤וּמַת Yu.mat H4191 this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king over Israel? 24 And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king H4428 . Now he had neither washed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king H4428 departed until the day he came [again] in peace. 26 And he said H559 , My lord, O king H4428 , my servant deceived me ; for thy servant said H559 , I will saddle me the ass, and ride thereon, and go H1980 with the king H4428 ; for thy servant is lame. 27 And he has slandered thy servant H5650 to 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 thy sight. 28 For all my father's house were but dead men before my lord H113 the king H4428 ; and thou didst set thy servant H5650 among them that eat at thine own H5869 table. What further right therefore have I ? and for what should I cry any more to the king H4428 ? 29 And the king H4428 said to him , Why H4100 speakest thou any more of thy matters? I have said , Thou and Ziba divide the land. 30 And Mephibosheth said H559 to the king H4428 , Let him even take all , since my lord the king H4428 is come again H5750 in peace to his own house.
