19 New English Bible (New Testament) Passage Biblia Hebraica

24Saul's grandson Mephibosheth also went down to meet the king. He had not dressed his feet, combed his beard or washed his clothes, from the day the king went out until he returned victorious. David shows kindness to Mephibosheth. 2Sm.19.24-30וּמְפִבֹשֶׁת בֶּן־שָׁאוּל יָרַד לִקְרַאת הַמֶּלֶךְ וְלֹא־עָשָׂה רַגְלָיו וְלֹא־עָשָׂה שְׂפָמֹו וְאֶת־בְּגָדָיו לֹא כִבֵּס לְמִן־הַיֹּום לֶכֶת הַמֶּלֶךְ עַד־הַיֹּום אֲשֶׁר־בָּא בְשָׁלֹום׃
25When he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, David said to him, 'Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?'  וַיְהִי כִּי־בָא יְרוּשָׁלִַם לִקְרַאת הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיֹּאמֶר לֹו הַמֶּלֶךְ לָמָּה לֹא־הָלַכְתָּ עִמִּי מְפִיבֹשֶׁת׃
26He answered, 'Sir, my servant deceived me; I did intend to harness my ass and ride with the king (for I am lame),  וַיֹּאמַר אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ עַבְדִּי רִמָּנִי כִּי־אָמַר עַבְדְּךָ אֶחְבְּשָׁה־לִּי הַחֲמֹור וְאֶרְכַּב עָלֶיהָ וְאֵלֵךְ אֶת־הַמֶּלֶךְ כִּי פִסֵּחַ עַבְדֶּךָ׃
27but his stories set your majesty against me. Your majesty is like the angel of God; you must do what you think right.  וַיְרַגֵּל בְּעַבְדְּךָ אֶל־אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ וַאדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ כְּמַלְאַךְ הָאֱלֹהִים וַעֲשֵׂה הַטֹּוב בְּעֵינֶיךָ׃
28My father's whole family, one and all, deserved to die at your majesty's hands, but you gave me, your servant, my place at your table. What further favour can I expect of the king?'  כִּי לֹא הָיָה כָּל־בֵּית אָבִי כִּי אִם־אַנְשֵׁי־מָוֶת לַאדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ וַתָּשֶׁת אֶת־עַבְדְּךָ בְּאֹכְלֵי שֻׁלְחָנֶךָ וּמַה־יֶּשׁ־לִי עֹוד צְדָקָה וְלִזְעֹק עֹוד אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ׃ ף
29The king answered, 'You have said enough. My decision is that you and Ziba are to share the estate.'  וַיֹּאמֶר לֹו הַמֶּלֶךְ לָמָּה תְּדַבֵּר עֹוד דְּבָרֶיךָ אָמַרְתִּי אַתָּה וְצִיבָא תַּחְלְקוּ אֶת־הַשָּׂדֶה׃
30Mephibosheth said, 'Let him have it all, now that your majesty has come home victorious.'

 וַיֹּאמֶר מְפִיבֹשֶׁת אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ גַּם אֶת־הַכֹּל יִקָּח אַחֲרֵי אֲשֶׁר־בָּא אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ בְּשָׁלֹום אֶל־בֵּיתֹו׃ ס
