2 And here is the king, walking before you?, and I am old and have become gray. And my sons, behold, are with you?, and I have walked before you? from my childhood to this day.

3 Behold, witness against me before YHWH and before His anointed. The ox of whom have I taken? Or the donkey of whom have I taken? Or whom have I cheated? Whom have I oppressed? Or from the hand of whom have I received a bribe and hidden my eyes with it? And I will restore it to you?.”

4 And they said, “You have not oppressed us and you have not crushed us, and you have not taken anything from the hand of man.”

5 And he said to them, “YHWH is witness against you?, and His anointed is witness this day, that you? have not found anything in my hand.” And he said, “Witness.”
