2 Samuel 19:26-28

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁶ He said, ‘My lord the king, as you know, I cannot walk properly. So I said to my servant, “Prepare a donkey for me to ride, so that I can leave Jerusalem with the king.” But Ziba, my servant, deceived me. ²⁷ And he has told you lies about me. But you are like an angel of God. I know that you will do what you think is right. ²⁸ I know that you, my lord the king, would have been right to kill all my grandfather's family. We all deserved that punishment. But instead, you asked me to eat meals at your table. So it would not be right for me to ask you to do anything more for me.’
