2 Samuel 19:24-30

24Then 1Mephibosheth the 2grandson of Saul came down to meet the king; but 3he had neither 4tended to his feet, nor 5trimmed his mustache, nor 6washed his clothes since the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace. 25And it was when he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, “7Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?” 26So he said, “My lord the king, my servant betrayed me; for your servant said, ‘I will 8saddle the donkey for myself so that I may ride on it and go with the king,’ 9since your servant cannot walk. 27Furthermore, 10he has slandered your servant to my lord the king; but my lord the king is 11like the angel of God, therefore do what is good in your sight. 28For 12all my father’s household was only people worthy of death to my lord the king; 13yet you placed your servant among those who ate at your own table. So what right do I still have, that I should 14complain anymore to the king?” 29So the king said to him, “Why do you still speak of your affairs? I have 15decided, ‘You and Ziba shall divide the land.’” 30And Mephibosheth said to the king, “Let him even take it all, since my lord the king has come safely to his own house.”
