2 Samuel 19:26-28

Expanded Bible

²⁶ He answered, “My master, my servant [^CZiba] tricked me! I am crippled, so ·I [^Lyour servant] said to ·Ziba [^Lhim], ‘Saddle a donkey. Then I will ride it so I can go with the king.’ ²⁷ But he ·lied about [slandered] ·me [^Lyour servant] to you [16:1–4]. You, my master and king, are like an angel from God. Do what ·you think is good [^Lis right in your eyes]. ²⁸ ·You could have killed all my grandfather’s family [^LMy father’s household were doomed to death/as good as dead before my lord the king]. ·Instead [Yet], you put ·me [^Lyour servant] with those people who eat at your own table. So I don’t have a right to ask anything more from the king!”
