2 Samuel 19:23-25

GOD’S WORD Translation

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. ²⁵ When he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, the king asked him, “Why didn’t you go with me, Mephibosheth?”
