2 Samuel 19:26-28
Revised Standard Version
26 He answered, “My lord, O king, my servant deceived me; for your servant said to him, ‘Saddle an ass for me,[a] that I may ride upon it and go with the king.’ For your servant is lame. 27 He has slandered your servant to my lord the king. But my lord the king is like the angel of God; do therefore what seems good to you. 28 For all my father’s house were but men doomed to death before my lord the king; but you set your servant among those who eat at your table. What further right have I, then, to cry to the king?”
