10:019:019 And said unto the king, Let not my lord impute iniquity unto
           me, neither do thou remember that which thy servant did
           perversely the day that my lord the king went out of
           Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart.

10:019:020 For thy servant doth know that I have sinned:  therefore,
           behold, I am come the first this day of all the house of
           Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.

10:019:021 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Shall not
           Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD’s
           anointed?

10:019:022 And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of
           Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries unto me? shall
           there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I
           know that I am this day king over Israel?

10:019:023 Therefore the king said unto Shimei, Thou shalt not die.  And
           the king sware unto him.

10:019:024 And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king,
           and had neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor
           washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the
           day he came again in peace.

10:019:025 And it came to pass, when he was come to Jerusalem to meet the
           king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore wentest not thou
           with me, Mephibosheth?

10:019:026 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.

10:019:027 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.

10:019:028 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?

10:019:029 And the king said unto him, Why speakest thou any more of thy
           matters?  I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land.

10:019:030 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.

10:019:031 And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim, and went
           over Jordan with the king, to conduct him over Jordan.

10:019:032 Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even fourscore years old: 
           and he had provided the king of sustenance while he lay at
           Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.
