2Samuel:19:24-27

*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
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 .
*
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 .
