2 Samuel 19:24-30
24Then 1MephiboshethH4648 the 2sonH1121 of SaulH7586 cameH3381 downH3381 to meetH7122 the kingH4428; and 3he had neitherH3808 4caredH6213 for his feetH7272, norH3808 5trimmedH6213 his mustacheH8222, norH3808 6washedH3526 his clothesH899, from the dayH3117 the kingH4428 departedH1980 untilH5704 the dayH3117 he cameH935 home in peaceH7965. 25It was whenH3588 he cameH935 from JerusalemH3389 to meetH7122 the kingH4428, that the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, “7WhyH4100 did you not goH1980 with me, MephiboshethH4648?” 26So he answeredH559, “O my lordH113, the kingH4428, my servantH5650 deceivedH7411 me; for your servantH5650 saidH559, ‘I will saddleH2280 a donkeyH2543 for myself that I may rideH7392 on it and goH1980 with the kingH4428,’ 8becauseH3588 your servantH5650 is lameH6455. 27Moreover, 9he has slanderedH7270 your servantH5650 to my lordH113 the kingH4428; but my lordH113 the kingH4428 is 10like the angelH4397 of GodH430, therefore doH6213 whatH2896 is goodH2896 in your sightH5869. 28For 11allH3605 my father’sH1 householdH1004 was nothingH3808 but deadH4194 menH376 before my lordH113 the kingH4428; 12yet you setH7896 your servantH5650 among those who ateH398 at your own tableH7979. WhatH4100 rightH6666 do I haveH3426 yetH5750 that I should 13complainH2199 anymoreH5750 to the kingH4428?” 29So the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, “WhyH4100 do you stillH5750 speakH1696 of your affairsH1697? I have 14decidedH559, ‘You and ZibaH6717 shall divideH2505 the landH7704.’” 30MephiboshethH4648 saidH559 to the kingH4428, “Let him evenH1571 takeH3947 it allH3605, sinceH310H834 my lordH113 the kingH4428 has comeH935 safelyH7965 to his own houseH1004.”
