2 Samuel 19:26

And he answered, my lord, O king, my servant deceived me ,.... His servant Ziba, who, instead of saddling an ass for him by his order, went off with that and another himself, 2 Samuel 16:1 ; for thy servant

said, I will saddle me an ass ; he not only determined this in his own mind, but gave orders to his servant to saddle one for him:

that I may ride thereon, and go to the king, because thy servant is lame ; and could not walk afoot, being lame of both his feet, 2 Samuel 4:4 .
