And it came to pass, when he was come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore wentest not thou with me, Mephibosheth?

Verse 25 is found in chapter 19 of 2 Samuel. Mephibosheth appears before David and explains that he did not accompany the king because Ziba deceived and abandoned him. His neglected appearance serves as narrative evidence of his mourning. David does not fully resolve the dispute, but divides the property between them. The scene again shows David’s limitations as a judge under pressure: his decisions during the crisis may have been hasty and now must be reconsidered in light of new information.
