He told you lies about me. My lord the king is like an angel of God. Do what you think is right. You could have killed anyone in my entire family. Instead you seated me with those who eat at your table. I no longer have the right to complain to my lord the king. The king asked him: Why do you keep talking about it? I said you and Ziba should divide the land. Let him take it all, Mephibosheth told the king. It is enough for me that you have come home safely.
