2 Samuel 19:27-29
1599 Geneva Bible
27 And he hath (A)accused thy servant unto my lord the king: but my lord the king is as an [a]angel of God: do therefore thy pleasure.
28 For all my father’s house were [b]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 anymore unto the king?
29 And the king said unto him, Why speakest thou anymore of thy matters? I have said, Thou, and Ziba, divide the [c]lands.

New International Version
27 And he has slandered your servant to my lord the king. My lord the king is like an angel(A) of God; so do whatever you wish. 28 All my grandfather’s descendants deserved nothing but death(B) from my lord the king, but you gave your servant a place among those who eat at your table.(C) 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.”
