2 Samuel 19:26-28
New American Standard Bible
26 So he said, “My lord the king, my servant betrayed me; for your servant said, ‘I will [a]saddle the donkey for myself so that I may ride on it and go with the king,’ (A)since your servant cannot walk. 27 Furthermore, (B)he has slandered your servant to my lord the king; but my lord the king is (C)like the angel of God, therefore do what is good in your sight. 28 For (D)all my father’s household was only people worthy of death to my lord the king; (E)yet you placed your servant among those who ate at your own table. So what right do I still have, that I should [b]complain anymore to the king?”

2 Samuel 19:26-28
New International Version
26 He said, “My lord the king, since I your servant am lame,(A) I said, ‘I will have my donkey saddled and will ride on it, so I can go with the king.’ But Ziba(B) my servant betrayed me. 27 And he has slandered your servant to my lord the king. My lord the king is like an angel(C) of God; so do whatever you wish. 28 All my grandfather’s descendants deserved nothing but death(D) from my lord the king, but you gave your servant a place among those who eat at your table.(E) So what right do I have to make any more appeals to the king?”
