2 Samuel 19:24-30

24Mephibosheth, Saul’s grandson, went to meet the king. He had not tended to his feet, trimmed his mustache, or washed his clothes from the day the king left until he came home safely.

25When he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, the king asked him, “Why didn’t you go with me, Mephibosheth?”

26He answered, “My servant deceived me, Your Majesty. Since I am disabled, I said, ‘Saddle the donkey for me, and I’ll ride on it and go with the king.’

27He told you lies about me, Your Majesty. However, you are like God’s Messenger. Do what you think is right.

28You could have killed anyone in my entire family, Your Majesty. Instead, you’ve seated me with those who eat at your table. So I no longer have the right to complain to the king.”

29The king asked him, “Why do you keep talking about it? I’ve said that you and Ziba should divide the land.”

30“Let him take it all,” Mephibosheth told the king. “It’s enough for me that you’ve come home safely.”
