2 Samuel 19:27 BBE

²⁵  Now when he had come from Jerusalem to see the king, the king said to him, Why did you not come with me, Mephibosheth?

²⁶  And he said in answer, Because of the deceit of my servant, my lord king: for I, your servant, said to him, You are to make ready an ass and on it I will go with the king, for your servant has not the use of his feet.

²⁷  He has given you a false account of me: but my lord the king is like the angel of God: do then whatever seems good to you.

²⁸  For all my father's family were only dead men before my lord the king: and still you put your servant among those whose place is at the king's table. What right then have I to say anything more to the king?

²⁹  And the king said, Say nothing more about these things. I say, Let there be a division of the land between Ziba and you.
