Google says the past tense of kneel is knelt.
10-14-2017 10:20 AM
In English, knelt is slowly giving way to kneeled. This trend is not limited to this verb; there are a few others that are losing their irregular past tense forms―or gaining an -ed form, at least. ... In American and British English, knelt is still the most common of the two.

Always said knelt, however, nothing suprises me now.
When the kids would come home and say "where's such and such at"---I would reply; "Behind the preposition"
They learned quickly.

I honestly don’t know which word I’d use since I can’t recall whether I ever have had occasion to make reference to it. Knelt when I would want to impress...kneeled when I am with my fellow New Yawkuhs.

It's knelt. Kneeled is not word although I'm sure you heard it and probably from a tv commentator.

Smelled or smelt ?

Texted has crept into the usage. It is an artifact of improper sentence construction.
