2 Samuel 19:19-20

¹⁹ And said to him, Let me not be judged as a sinner in your eyes, O my lord, and do not keep in mind the wrong I did on the day when my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, or take it to heart. ²⁰ For your servant is conscious of his sin: and so, as you see, I have come today, the first of all the sons of Joseph, for the purpose of meeting my lord the king.

Commentary on 2 Samuel 19:16-23

(Read 2 Samuel 19:16-23)
