2 Samuel 19:26
Deceived me - By carrying away the ass which I bid him saddle for me.
David and Mephibosheth Meet
24 Now aMephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king. And he had not cared for his feet, nor trimmed his mustache, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he returned in peace.
25 So it was, when he had come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, a“Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?”
26 And he answered, “My lord, O king, my servant deceived me. For your servant said, ‘I will saddle a donkey for myself, that I may ride on it and go to the king,’ because your servant is lame.
27 And ahe has slandered your servant to my lord the king, bbut my lord the king is like the angel of God. Therefore do what is good in your eyes.
28 For all my father’s house were but dead men before my lord the king. aYet you set your servant among those who eat at your own table. Therefore what right have I still to1 cry out anymore to the king?”
