2 Samuel 19:26-28

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁶ And he answered, “My lord the king, my servant deceived me. For your servant said, ‘I would have my donkey saddled, to ride on it to go with the king,’ because your servant is lame.

²⁷ “And he has accused your servant to my lord the king. But my lord the king is as an angel of God. Therefore, do your pleasure.

²⁸ “For all my father’s House were but dead men before my lord the king, yet you sat your servant among those who ate at your own table. What right, therefore, do I still have to cry anymore to the king?”
