23 And the king saith unto Shimei, `Thou dost not die;` and the king sweareth to him.

24 And Mephibosheth son of Saul hath come down to meet the king -- and he prepared not his feet, nor did he prepare his upper lip, yea, his garments he washed not, even from the day of the going away of the king, till the day that he came in peace --
