The king said to him, "Are you Ziba?" And he said, "At your service!"H1004H7586H5650H8034H6717H7121H1732H4428H559H6717H559H56503The king said, "Is there anyone remaining of the house of Saul to whom I may show the kindness of God?" Ziba said to the king, "There remains a son of Jonathan; he is crippled in his feet."H4428H559H657H376H1004H7586H6213H2617H430H6717H559H4428H3083H1121H5223H72724The king said to him, "Where is he?" Ziba said to the king, "He is in the house of Machir son of Ammiel, at Lo-debar."H4428H559H375H6717H559H4428H1004H4353H1121H5988H38105Then King David sent and brought him from the house of Machir son of Ammiel, at Lo-debar.H4428H1732H7971H3947H1004H4353H1121H5988H38106Mephibosheth son of Jonathan son of Saul came to David, and fell on his face and did obeisance. David said, "Mephibosheth!" He answered, "I am your servant."H4648H1121H3083H1121H7586H935H1732H5307H6440H7812H1732H559H4648H559H56507David said to him, "Do not be afraid, for I will show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan; I will restore to you all the land of your grandfather Saul, and you yourself shall eat at my table always."H1732H559H3372H6213H6213H2617H3083H1H7725H7704H7586H1H398H3899H7979H85488He did obeisance and said, "What is your servant, that you should look upon a dead dog such as I?"H7812H559H5650H6437H4191H36119Then the king summoned Saul's servant Ziba, and said to him, "All that belonged to Saul and to all his house I have given to your master's grandson.H4428H7121H6717H7586H5288H559H5414H113H1121H1961H7586H100410You and your sons and your servants shall till the land for him, and shall bring in the produce, so that your master's grandson may have food to eat; but your master's grandson Mephibosheth shall always eat at my table." Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.H1121H5650H5647H127H935H113H1121H3899H398H4648H113H1121H398H3899H8548H7979H6717H2568H6240H1121H6242H565011Then Ziba said to the king, "According to all that my lord the king commands his servant, so your servant will do." Mephibosheth ate at David's table, like one of the king's sons.H559H6717H4428H113H4428H6680H5650H5650H6213H4648H398H7979H259H4428H112112Mephibosheth had a young son whose name was Mica. And all who lived in Ziba's house became Mephibosheth's servants.H4648H6996H1121H8034H4316H4186H1004H6717H5650H464813Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, for he always ate at the king's table.
