2 And now, behold, the king ^awalks before you, ^band I am old and gray; and behold, my sons are with you. I have walked before you from my youth until this day. 3 Here I am; testify against me before the Lord and before ^chis anointed. ^dWhose ox have I taken? Or whose donkey have I taken? Or whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed? Or from whose hand have I taken a bribe to blind my eyes with it? Testify against me ^{▼▼Septuagint; Hebrew lacks Testify against me} and I will restore it to you.” 4 They said, “You have not defrauded us or oppressed us or taken anything from any man’s hand.” 5 And he said to them, “The Lord is witness against you, and ^fhis anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything ^gin my hand.” And they said, “He is witness.”

Psalms 18:20-24

20 The Lord dealt with me ^haccording to my righteousness;
according to ⁱthe cleanness of my hands he rewarded me.
21 For I have ^jkept the ways of the Lord,
and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 For ^kall his rules ^{▼▼Or just decrees} were before me,
and his statutes I did not put away from me.
23 I was ^mblameless before him,
and I kept myself from my guilt.
24 So the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
