2 Samuel 19:26-28

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁶ He said, My lord O king, my servant [Ziba] deceived me; for I said, Saddle me the donkey that I may ride on it and go to the king, for your servant is lame [but he took the donkey and left without me].

²⁷ He has slandered your servant to my lord the king. But the king is as an angel of God; so do what is good in your eyes.

²⁸ For all of my father’s house were but doomed to death before my lord the king; yet you set your servant among those who ate at your own table. What right therefore have I to cry any more to the king?
