2 Samuel 19:22-24

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²² David answered, “Sons of Zeruiah, do we agree on anything?^(A) Have you become my adversary today? Should any man be killed in Israel today? Am I not aware that today I’m king over Israel?” ²³ So the king said to Shimei, “You will not die.” Then the king gave him his oath.^(B)

²⁴ Mephibosheth,^(C) Saul’s grandson, also went down to meet the king. He had not taken care of his feet, trimmed his mustache, or washed his clothes from the day the king left until the day he returned safely.
