2 Samuel 19:26-28

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁶ He answered, “My servant deceived me, Your Majesty. Since I am disabled, I said, ‘Saddle the donkey for me, and I’ll ride on it and go with the king.’ ²⁷ He told you lies about me, Your Majesty. However, you are like God’s Messenger. Do what you think is right. ²⁸ You could have killed anyone in my entire family, Your Majesty. Instead, you’ve seated me with those who eat at your table. So I no longer have the right to complain to the king.”
