2 Samuel 19:24-30 - David Shows Kindness To Mephibosheth

24 Mephibosheth grandson of Saul also came to meet David. He missed David so much that he did not take a bath or trim his beard or wash his clothes the whole time David was gone. 25 They returned to Jerusalem. Mephibosheth came to see David. David asked him: Why did you not go with me?

26 He answered: Your Majesty, you know I cannot walk. I told my servant to saddle a donkey for me so I could go with you. But my servant left without me. 27 He told you lies about me. My lord the king is like an angel of God. Do what you think is right. 28 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.

29 The king asked him: Why do you keep talking about it? I said you and Ziba should divide the land.

30 Let him take it all, Mephibosheth told the king. It is enough for me that you have come home safely.
