2 Samuel 19:22-24

GOD’S WORD Translation

²² David responded, “Are you sure we’re from the same family, sons of Zeruiah? You are my enemies today. Should anyone in Israel be killed today? Don’t I know that I’m king of Israel again?”

²³ The king promised Shimei, “You won’t die,” and the king swore to it.

²⁴ Mephibosheth, Saul’s grandson, went to meet the king. He had not tended to his feet, trimmed his mustache, or washed his clothes from the day the king left until he came home safely.
