II Samuel 19 Mephibosheth meets David

 II Samuel 19

Mephibosheth meets David

24 Also Mephibosheth, Saul's son, went down to meet the king, and he had not washed his feet, nor shaved, nor washed his clothes from the day the king went out until the day he returned. in peace.

25 And it came to pass, when he came to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him, Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?

26 And he said, O my lord the king, my servant deceived me; for thy servant said, I will saddle a donkey, and I will ride upon it, and I will go with the king; for your servant is lame.

27 Furthermore, falsely accused your servant before my lord the king; but my lord the king is like an angel of God; therefore do what seems good in your eyes.

28 For all my father's house were but men worthy of death before my lord the king, and yet thou hast set thy servant among them that eat at thy table: and what more right have I to cry unto the king?

29 And the king said unto him, Why dost thou speak any more of thy business? I already said: You and Ziba divide the lands.

30 And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Let him also take all: for my lord the king is come to his house in peace.
