2 Samuel 19:24-30
24And MephiboshethH4648 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586 came downH3381 to meetH7125 the kingH4428, and had neitherH3808 dressedH6213 his feetH7272, nor trimmedH6213 his beardH8222, nor washedH3526 his clothesH899, from the dayH3117 the kingH4428 departedH3212 until the dayH3117 he cameH935 again in peaceH7965. 25And it came to pass, when he was comeH935 to JerusalemH3389 to meetH7125 the kingH4428, that the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, Wherefore wentestH1980 not thou with me, MephiboshethH4648? 26And he answeredH559, My lordH113, O kingH4428, my servantH5650 deceivedH7411 me: for thy servantH5650 saidH559, I will saddleH2280 me a donkeyH2543, that I may rideH7392 thereon, and goH3212 to the kingH4428; because thy servantH5650 is lameH6455. 27And he hath slanderedH7270 thy servantH5650 unto my lordH113 the kingH4428; but my lordH113 the kingH4428 is as an angelH4397 of GodH430: doH6213 therefore what is goodH2896 in thine eyesH5869. 28For all of my father’sH1 houseH1004 were butH3808 deadH4194 menH582 before my lordH113 the kingH4428: yet didst thou setH7896 thy servantH5650 among them that did eatH398 at thine own tableH7979. What rightH6666 therefore haveH3426 I yet to cryH2199 any more unto the kingH4428?1 29And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, Why speakestH1696 thou any more of thy mattersH1697? I have saidH559, Thou and ZibaH6717 divideH2505 the landH7704. 30And MephiboshethH4648 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, Yea, let him takeH3947 all, forasmuchH310 asH834 my lordH113 the kingH4428 is come againH935 in peaceH7965 unto his own houseH1004.
