Reading for May 31st
Read 2 Samuel 19.24-30
In verse 24: Taken care of his feet may mean trimmed his toenails, since the writer cities it as evidence that Merib-baal (Mephibosheth) had been mourning David's exile.
In verse 26-30: Ziba had accused Merib-baal of plotting to take the throne (16.1-4).
Merib-baal here defends himself, saying that Ziba refused to help to flee with David, and he could not leave his own accord because he is crippled.
David's decision (v. 29) indicates that he does not know which of them is telling truth.
