2 Samuel 19:24-30

24Then 1MephiboshethH4648 the 2grandsonH1121 of SaulH7586 cameH3381 downH3381 to meetH7122 the kingH4428; but 3he had neitherH3808 4tendedH6213 toH6213 his feetH7272, norH3808 5trimmedH6213 his mustacheH8222, norH3808 6washedH3526 his clothesH899 sinceH4480 the dayH3117 the kingH4428 departedH1980 untilH5704 the dayH3117 he cameH935 home in peaceH7965. 25And it 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 saidH559, “My lordH113 the kingH4428, my servantH5650 betrayedH7411 me; for your servantH5650 saidH559, ‘I will 8saddleH2280 the donkeyH2543 for myself so that I may rideH7392 on it and goH1980 with the kingH4428,’ 9sinceH3588 your servantH5650 cannotH6455 walkH6455. 27Furthermore, 10he has slanderedH7270 your servantH5650 to my lordH113 the kingH4428; but my lordH113 the kingH4428 is 11like the angelH4397 of GodH430, therefore doH6213 whatH2896 isH2896 goodH2896 in your sightH5869. 28For 12allH3605 my father’sH1 householdH1004 was onlyH3808H3588H518 peopleH376 worthy of deathH4194 to my lordH113 the kingH4428; 13yet you placedH7896 your servantH5650 among those who ateH398 at your own tableH7979. So whatH4100 rightH6666 do I stillH5750 haveH3426, that I should 14complainH2199 anymoreH5750 to the kingH4428?” 29So the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, “WhyH4100 do you stillH5750 speakH1696 of your affairsH1697? I have 15decidedH559, ‘You and ZibaH6717 shall divideH2505 the landH7704.’” 30And MephiboshethH4648 saidH559 to the kingH4428, “Let him evenH1571 takeH3947 it allH3605, sinceH310H834 my lordH113 the kingH4428 has comeH935 safelyH7965 to his own houseH1004.”
