2 Samuel 19:28-30

The Message

^26-28 “My master the king,” he said, “my servant betrayed me. I told him to saddle my donkey so I could ride it and go with the king, for, as you know, I am lame. And then he lied to you about me. But my master the king has been like one of God’s angels: he knew what was right and did it. Wasn’t everyone in my father’s house doomed? But you took me in and gave me a place at your table. What more could I ever expect or ask?”

²⁹ “That’s enough,” said the king. “Say no more. Here’s my decision: You and Ziba divide the property between you.”

³⁰ Mephibosheth said, “Oh, let him have it all! All I care about is that my master the king is home safe and sound!”
