2 Samuel 19:27

David Pardons His Enemies

²⁶ And he will say, My lord the king, my servant deceived me: for thy servant said, I will saddle for me the ass, and I will ride upon it, and I will go to the king; for thy servant is lame. ²⁷ And he will slander against thy servant to my lord the king; and my lord the king as a messenger of God: and do thou the good in thine eyes. ²⁸ For was not all my father's house but men of death before my lord the king? and thou wilt set thy servant among those eating at thy table. And what is there to me yet of right and to cry yet to the king?
