And the king said unto him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land.

Verse 29 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.

Denn all meines Vaters Haus ist nichts gewesen als Leute des Todes vor meinem Herrn, dem König; so hast du deinen Knecht gesetzt unter die, so an deinem Tisch essen. Was habe ich weiter Gerechtigkeit oder weiter zu schreien zu dem König?
Y el rey le dijo: ¿Para qué hablas más palabras? Yo he determinado que tú y Siba partáis las tierras.
El rey le dijo: «¿Para qué seguir hablando de tu asunto? He decidido que tú y Siba se repartan las tierras».
Le roi lui dit: A quoi bon toutes tes paroles? Je l'ai déclaré: Toi et Tsiba, vous partagerez les terres.
E il re gli disse: Perchè conteresti più le tue ragioni? Io ho detto: Tu, e Siba, partite le possessioni.
E disse-lhe o rei: Por que ainda mais falas de teus negócios? Já disse eu: Tu e Ziba reparti as terras.
王對他說:「你何必再提你的事呢?我說,你與 洗巴 要平分土地。」
