2 Samuel 19:25
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
And he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, who asked him, “Mephibosheth, why did you not go with me?”
In context
23 So the king said to Shimei, “You shall not die.” And the king swore an oath to him.
24 Then Mephibosheth, Saul’s grandson, went down to meet the king. He had not cared for his feet or trimmed his mustache or washed his clothes from the day the king had left until the day he returned safely.
25 And he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, who asked him, “Mephibosheth, why did you not go with me?”
26 “My lord the king,” he replied, “because I am lame, I said, ‘I will have my donkey saddled so that I may ride on it and go with the king.’ But my servant Ziba deceived me,
27 and he has slandered your servant to my lord the king. Yet my lord the king is like the angel of God, so do what is good in your eyes.
