New American Standard Bible
Chapter 19
22David then said, 'What is there between you and me, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should be an adversary to me today? Should anyone be put to death in Israel today? For do I not know that I am king over Israel today?' 23So the king said to Shimei, 'You shall not die.' The king also swore to him.
24Then Mephibosheth the grandson of Saul came down to meet the king; but he had neither tended to his feet, nor trimmed his mustache, nor washed his clothes since the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace.
25And it was when he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, 'Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?'

22David answered, "Sons of Zeruiah, do we agree on anything? Have you become my adversary today? Should any man be killed in Israel today? Am I not aware that today I’m king over Israel?" 23So the king said to Shimei, "You will not die." Then the king gave him his oath.
24Mephibosheth, Saul’s grandson, also went down to meet the king. He had not taken care of his feet, trimmed his mustache, or washed his clothes from the day the king left until the day he returned safely.
