And he hath slandered thy servant unto my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God: do therefore what is good in thine eyes.

Verse 27 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.

Und er sprach: Mein Herr König, mein Knecht hat mich betrogen. Denn dein Knecht gedachte, ich will einen Esel satteln und darauf reiten und zum König ziehen, denn dein Knecht ist lahm.
Empero él revolvió a tu siervo delante de mi señor el rey; mas mi señor el rey es como un ángel de Dios: haz pues lo que bien te pareciere.
Pero él ha calumniado a tu servidor ante mi señor el rey. Mi señor el rey es como un ángel de Dios. Haz lo que te parezca bien.
Et il a calomnié ton serviteur auprès de mon seigneur le roi. Mais mon seigneur le roi est comme un ange de Dieu. Fais ce qui te semblera bon.
Ed egli ha calunniato il tuo servitore appo il re, mio signore; ma pure il re, mio signore, è come un angelo di Dio; fa’ dunque ciò che ti piacerà.
Demais disto, falsamente acusou a teu servo diante do rei meu senhor; porém o rei meu senhor é como um anjo de Deus; faze, pois, o que parecer bem aos teus olhos.
