servant am lame.

19:27. Moreover he hath also accused me thy servant to thee, my lord the
king: but thou my lord the king art as an angel of God, do what pleaseth
thee.

19:28. For all of my father's house were no better than worthy of death
before my lord the king; and thou hast set me thy servant among the
guests of thy table: what just complaint therefore have I? or what right
to cry any more to the king?

19:29. Then the king said to him: Why speakest thou any more? what I
have said is determined: thou and Siba divide the possessions.

19:30. And Miphiboseth answered the king: Yea, let him take all,
forasmuch as my lord the king is returned peaceably into his house.

19:31. Berzellai also the Galaadite coming down from Rogelim, brought
the king over the Jordan, being ready also to wait on him beyond the
