2 Samuel 19:26-30
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 19
26
So he said, 'My lord the king, my servant betrayed me; for your servant said, ‘I will saddle the donkey for myself so that I may ride on it and go with the king,’ since your servant cannot walk.
27
Furthermore, he has slandered your servant to my lord the king; but my lord the king is like the angel of God, therefore do what is good in your sight.
28
For all my father’s household was only people
worthy
of death to my lord the king; yet you placed your servant among those who ate at your own table. So what right do I still have, that I should complain anymore to the king?'
29
So the king said to him, 'Why do you still speak of your affairs? I have decided, ‘You and Ziba shall divide the land.’?'
30
And Mephibosheth said to the king, 'Let him even take it all, since my lord the king has come safely to his own house.'
King James Version
Chapter 19
26
And he answered, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me: for thy servant said, I will saddle me an ass, that I may ride thereon, and go to the king; because thy servant is lame.
27
And he hath slandered thy servant unto my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God: do therefore what is good in thine eyes.
28
For all of my father's house were but dead men before my lord the king: yet didst thou set thy servant among them that did eat at thine own table. What right therefore have I yet to cry any more unto the king?
29
And the king said unto him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land.
30
And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king is come again in peace unto his own house.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 19
26
"My lord the king," he replied, "my servant Ziba betrayed me. Actually your servant said: ‘I’ll saddle the donkey for myself so that I may ride it and go with the king’—for your servant is lame.
27
Ziba slandered your servant to my lord the king. But my lord the king is like the angel of God, so do whatever you think best.
28
For my grandfather’s entire family deserves death from my lord the king, but you set your servant among those who eat at your table. So what further right do I have to keep on making appeals to the king?"
29
The king said to him, "Why keep on speaking about these matters of yours? I hereby declare: you and Ziba are to divide the land."
30
Mephibosheth said to the king, "Instead, since my lord the king has come to his palace safely, let Ziba take it all!"
New Living Translation
Chapter 19
26
Mephibosheth replied, 'My lord the king, my servant Ziba deceived me. I told him, ‘Saddle my donkey so I can go with the king.’ For as you know I am crippled.
27
Ziba has slandered me by saying that I refused to come. But I know that my lord the king is like an angel of God, so do what you think is best.
28
All my relatives and I could expect only death from you, my lord, but instead you have honored me by allowing me to eat at your own table! What more can I ask?'
29
You’ve said enough,' David replied. 'I’ve decided that you and Ziba will divide your land equally between you.'
30
Give him all of it,' Mephibosheth said. 'I am content just to have you safely back again, my lord the king!'
English Standard Version

27
He has slandered your servant to my lord the king. But my lord the king is like the angel of God; do therefore what seems good to you.
28
For all my father 's house were but men doomed to death before my lord the king, but you set your servant among those who eat at your table. What further right have I, then, to cry to the king?"
29
And the king said to him, "Why speak any more of your affairs? I have decided: you and Ziba shall divide the land."
30
And Mephibosheth said to the king, "Oh, let him take it all, since my lord the king has come safely home."
New International Version
Chapter 19
26

27
And he has slandered your servant to my lord the king. My lord the king is like an angel of God; so do whatever you wish.
28
All my grandfather’s descendants deserved nothing but death from my lord the king, but you gave your servant a place among those who eat at your table. So what right do I have to make any more appeals to the king?"
29
The king said to him, "Why say more? I order you and Ziba to divide the land."
30
Mephibosheth said to the king, "Let him take everything, now that my lord the king has returned home safely."

Chapter 19
26
And he answered, “My lord, O king, my servant deceived me. For your servant said, ‘I will saddle a donkey for myself, that I may ride on it and go to the king,’ because your servant
is
lame.
27
And he has slandered your servant to my lord the king, but my lord the king
is
like the angel of God. Therefore do
what is
good in your eyes.
28
For all my father’s house were but dead men before my lord the king. Yet you set your servant among those who eat at your own table. Therefore what right have I still to cry out anymore to the king?”
29
So the king said to him, “Why do you speak anymore of your matters? I have said, ‘You and Ziba divide the land.’ ”
30
Then Mephibosheth said to the king, “Rather, let him take it all, inasmuch as my lord the king has come back in peace to his own house.”
