2 Samuel 19:27 DBY

²⁵  And as soon as Jerusalem came to meet the king, the king said to him, Why didst thou not go with me, Mephibosheth?

²⁶  And he said, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me; for thy servant said, I will saddle me the ass, and ride thereon, and go with the king; for thy servant is lame.

²⁷  And he has slandered thy servant to my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God; do therefore what is good in thy sight.

²⁸  For all my father's house were but dead men before my lord the king; and thou didst set thy servant among them that eat at thine own table. What further right therefore have I? and for what should I cry any more to the king?

²⁹  And the king said to him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land.
