2 Samuel 19:26-29 ▼

26 He said, “My lord the king, my servant [Ziba] betrayed me; for I said, ‘Saddle a donkey for me so that I may ride on it and go with the king,’ for your servant is lame [but he took the donkeys and left without me].

27 Further, he has slandered your servant to my lord the king; but my lord the king is like the angel of God; so do what is good in your eyes.

28 For were not all of my father’s household (family) nothing but dead men before my lord the king; yet you set your servant among those who ate at your own table. So what right do I still have to cry out anymore to the king [for help]?”

29 The king said to him, “Why speak anymore of your affairs? I have said, ‘You and Ziba shall divide the land.’”
