And he said to the king,“ May my lord not consider me guilty, nor call to mind what your servant did wrong on the day when my lord the king went out from Jerusalem, so that the king would take it to heart.For your servant knows that I have sinned; so behold, I have come today, the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.”But Abishai the son of Zeruiah responded,“ Should Shimei not be put to death for this, the fact that he cursed the Lord’s anointed?”David then said,“ What is there between you and me, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should be an adversary to me today? Should anyone be put to death in Israel today? For do I not know that I am king over Israel today?”So the king said to Shimei,“ You shall not die.” The king also swore to him.Then Mephibosheth the grandson of Saul came down to meet the king; but he had neither tended to his feet, nor trimmed his mustache, nor washed his clothes since the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace.And it was when he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him,“ Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?”So he said,“ My lord the king, my servant betrayed me; for your servant said,‘ I will saddle the donkey for myself so that I may ride on it and go with the king,’ since your servant cannot walk.Furthermore, he has slandered your servant to my lord the king; but my lord the king is like the angel of God, therefore do what is good in your sight.For all my father’s household was only people worthy of death to my lord the king; yet you placed your servant among those who ate at your own table. So what right do I still have, that I should complain anymore to the king?”So the king said to him,“ Why do you still speak of your affairs? I have decided,‘ You and Ziba shall divide the land.’ ”And Mephibosheth said to the king,“ Let him even take it all, since my lord the king has come safely to his own house.”Now Barzillai the Gileadite had come down from Rogelim; and he went on to the Jordan with the king to escort him over the Jordan.Barzillai was very old: eighty years old; and he had provided the king food while he stayed in Mahanaim, for he was a very great man.So the king said to Barzillai,“ You cross over with me, and I will provide you food in Jerusalem with me.”But Barzillai said to the king,“ How long do I still have to live, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?I am now eighty years old. Can I distinguish between good and bad? Or can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Or can I still hear the voice of men and women singing? Why then should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?Your servant would merely cross over the Jordan with the king. So why should the king compensate me with this reward?Please let your servant return, so that I may die in my own city near the grave of my father and my mother. However, here is your servant Chimham; let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him what is good in your sight.”And the king answered,“ Chimham shall cross over with me, and I will do for him what is good in your sight; and whatever you require of me, I will do for you.”All the people crossed over the Jordan and the king crossed too. The king then kissed Barzillai and blessed him, and he returned to his place.
