2 Samuel 19:27-30

19:27 But my servant ¹  has slandered me ²  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 ³  who did not deserve death from my lord the king. But instead you allowed me to eat at your own table! ⁴  What further claim do I have to ask ⁵  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.” 19:30 Mephibosheth said to the king, “Let him have ⁶  the whole thing! My lord the king has returned safely ⁷  to his house!”
