2 Samuel 6:20

6:20 When David went home to pronounce a blessing on his own house, ¹  Michal, Saul’s daughter, came out to meet him. ²  She said, “How the king of Israel has distinguished ³  himself this day! He has exposed himself today before his servants’ slave girls the way a vulgar fool ⁴  might do!”

2 Samuel 19:20

19:20 For I, your servant, ⁵  know that I sinned, and I have come today as the first of all the house of Joseph to come down to meet my lord the king.”

2 Samuel 19:24

19:24 Now Mephibosheth, Saul’s grandson, ⁶  came down to meet the king. From the day the king had left until the day he safely ⁷  returned, Mephibosheth ⁸  had not cared for his feet ⁹  nor trimmed ¹⁰  his mustache nor washed his clothes.
