2 Samuel 19:17-30

17And there were a thousand menH376 of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sonsH1121 and his twenty servantsH376 with him; and they wentH3381 through Jordan in the presenceH5973 of the kingH4428.

18And there wentH376 over a ferry boat to bring over the king’sH4428 householdH1004, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the sonH1121 of Gera fell downH6440 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, when he was come over JordanH3383.

19And he said unto the kingH4428, Let notH1121 my lord impute iniquity unto meH6440, neither doH6213 thou remember that whichH5869 thy servant didH6213 perversely the day that my lord the kingH4428 wentH6440 outH6440 of Jerusalem, that the kingH4428 should take it to his heart.

20For thy servantH5650 doth know that I have sinned: therefore, behold, I am comeH3318 this dayH3117 the firstH3117 of allH3117 the house of JosephH413 to goH3318 downH7760 to meetH3318 my lordH113 the kingH4428.

21But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answeredH935 and said, Shall notH3588 Shimei be putH935 to death for this, becauseH3588 he cursed the LORD’SH113 anointed?

22And David saidH559, WhatH2063 have I to do with youH3588, ye sonsH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, that ye should this day be adversaries unto meH4191? shall there anyH3588 manH1121 be putH4191 to deathH4191 this day in Israel? for do notH3808 I know that I am this day king over Israel?

23And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto Shimei, Thou shalt notH3808 dieH4191. And the kingH4428 sware unto him.

24And MephiboshethH3808 the son of SaulH559 cameH413 down to meet the kingH4428; and he had neitherH3808 dressed his feet, norH3808 trimmed his beard, norH3808 washed his clothes, from the day the kingH4428 departed until the day he cameH413 home in peace.

25And it cameH935 to passH935, when he was comeH935 to Jerusalem to meetH7125 the kingH4428, that the kingH4428 said unto him, Wherefore wentest notH3808 thou with meH4480, MephiboshethH4648?

26And he answeredH559, My lord, O kingH4428, my servant deceived meH935: for thy servant saidH559, I will saddle meH935 an ass, that I may ride thereon, and goH1980 with the kingH4428; becauseH3588 thy servant is lame.

27And he hath slandered thy servantH5650 unto my lordH113 the kingH4428; but my lordH113 the kingH4428 is as an angel of GodH559: do therefore whatH5921 is good in thine eyes.

28For all my father’s house were but dead menH5650 beforeH5869 my lordH113 the kingH4428: yet didst thou setH6213 thy servantH5650 among them that didH6213 eat at thine ownH5869 table. WhatH2896 rightH5869 therefore have I yet that I should cry any more unto the kingH4428?

29And the kingH4428 saidH413 unto him, WhyH4100 speakest thou anyH3605 moreH5750 of thy matters? I say, Thou and Ziba divide the land.

30And Mephibosheth saidH559 unto the kingH4428, Yea, let him take allH1697, forasmuch as my lord the kingH4428 is come in peace unto his own house:
