2 Samuel 19:26-29

19:26 He replied, “My lord the king, my servant deceived me! I ¹  said, ‘Let me get my donkey saddled so that I can ride on it and go with the king,’ for I ²  am lame. 19:27 But my servant ³  has slandered me ⁴  to my lord the king. But my lord the king is like an angel of God. Do whatever seems appropriate to you. 19:28 After all, there was no one in the entire house of my grandfather ⁵  who did not deserve death from my lord the king. But instead you allowed me to eat at your own table! ⁶  What further claim do I have to ask ⁷  the king for anything?”

19:29 Then the king replied to him, “Why should you continue speaking like this? You and Ziba will inherit the field together.”
