2 Samuel 19:24

19:24 Now Mephibosheth, Saul’s grandson, 1  came down to meet the king. From the day the king had left until the day he safely 2  returned, Mephibosheth 3  had not cared for his feet 4  nor trimmed 5  his mustache nor washed his clothes.

2 Samuel 19:28

19:28 After all, there was no one in the entire house of my grandfather 6  who did not deserve death from my lord the king. But instead you allowed me to eat at your own table! 7  What further claim do I have to ask 8  the king for anything?”
