2 Samuel 19:24
24 Then Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king ; and he had neither cared for his feet , nor trimmed his mustache , nor washed his clothes , from the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace .

Commentary on 2 Samuel 19:24-30
(Read 2 Samuel 19:24-30)
David recalls the forfeiture of Mephibosheth's estate; and he expressed joy for the king's return. A good man contentedly bears his own losses, while he sees Israel in peace, and the Son of David exalted.
