2 Samuel

2 Samuel 19:26–27

²⁶“My lord the king,” he replied, “because I am lame, I said, ‘I will have my donkey saddled^a so that I may ride on it and go with the king.’ But my servant Ziba deceived me, ²⁷and he has slandered your servant to my lord the king.

Yet my lord the king is like the angel^b of God, so do what is good in your eyes.
