2Sa 19:25 | MHM | STEP | v. 25-27 : When David arrived in Jerusalem, Mephibosheth came before him (2 Samuel 19:25 ). David asked why Mephibosheth hadn’t joined him when he left the city. Mephibosheth explained that his servant Ziba had deceived him. Ziba took the donkey that was meant for Mephibosheth and left him behind because he was lame (2 Samuel 19:26 ). Then, Ziba lied to David and said Mephibosheth wanted the throne for himself (2 Samuel 19:27 ). This shows how much harm a dishonest servant can do.

v. 25-27: When David arrived in Jerusalem, Mephibosheth came before him (2 Samuel 19:25 ^a). David asked why Mephibosheth hadn’t joined him when he left the city. Mephibosheth explained that his servant Ziba had deceived him. Ziba took the donkey that was meant for Mephibosheth and left him behind because he was lame (2 Samuel 19:26 ^b). Then, Ziba lied to David and said Mephibosheth wanted the throne for himself (2 Samuel 19:27 ^c). This shows how much harm a dishonest servant can do.
