2 Samuel 19:27-29

New Catholic Bible

²⁷ “However, he has slandered your servant to my lord the king. But I well know that your majesty is like an angel of God. Do what you judge to be best. ²⁸ Although my father’s entire family deserved to die at your majesty’s hands, you placed me, your servant, among those who eat at your table. What right do I have to make any further appeals to the king?”

²⁹ However, the king said to him: “There is no necessity for you to say anything further. I have decided that you and Ziba shall divide the property equally.”
