2 Samuel 19:19-39 And he said to the king, Let not my lord charge iniquity to me. Do not remember the perverse way your servant acted in the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, for the king to take it to his heart.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁹ And he said to the king, Let not my lord charge iniquity to me. Do not remember the perverse way your servant acted in the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, for the king to take it to his heart. ²⁰ For your servant knows that I have sinned. And, behold, I come today, the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king. ²¹ But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed Jehovah's anointed? ²² And David said, What do I have to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should be my foes today? Shall there be any man put to death today in Israel? For do I not know that I am king over Israel today? ²³ And the king said to Shimei, You shall not die. And the king swore to him. ²⁴ And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king. And he had neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his moustache, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until he came in peace. ²⁵ And it happened when he had come to Jerusalem to meet the king, the king said to him, Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth? ²⁶ And he answered, My lord, O, king, my servant deceived me. For your servant said, I will saddle me an ass so that I may ride on it and go to the king, because your servant is lame. ²⁷ And he spoke slander against your servant to my lord the king. But my lord the king is as an angel of God. And do what is good in your eyes. ²⁸ For all my father's house were but dead men before my lord the king. And you set your servant among those eating at your own table. What right then have I to cry to the king any more? ²⁹ And the king said to him, Why do you speak any more of your matters? I have said, You and Ziba divide the land. ³⁰ And Mephibosheth said to the king, Yes, let him take all, because my lord the king has come in peace to his own house. ³¹ And Barzillai of Gilead came down from Rogelim, and went over Jordan with the king to conduct him over Jordan. ³² And Barzillai was a very aged man, eighty years old. And he had provided food for the king while he abode at Mahanaim, for he was a very great man. ³³ And the king said to Barzillai, Come over with me and I will sustain you with me in Jerusalem. ³⁴ And Barzillai said to the king, How long do I have to live, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem? ³⁵ I am eighty years old today, and can I discern between good and evil? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I any more hear the voice of singing men and singing women? Why then should your servant be still a burden to my lord the king? ³⁶ Your servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king. And why should the king repay me with such a reward? ³⁷ Please let your servant return so that I may die in my own city by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold your servant Chimham, let him go over with my lord the king. And do to him what shall seem good to you. ³⁸ And the king answered, Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good to you. And whatever you shall ask of me, that I will do for you. ³⁹ And all the people went over Jordan. And when the king had come over, the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him. And he returned to his place.
