9Now David said, "Is there still anyone who is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?"H1732H559H3426H3498H1004H7586H6213H2617H30832And there was a servant of the house of Saul whose name was Ziba. So when they had called him to David, the king said to him, "Are you Ziba?" And he said, "At your service!"H1004H7586H5650H8034H6717H7121H1732H4428H559H6717H559H56503Then the king said, "Is there not still someone of the house of Saul, to whom I may show the kindness of God?" And Ziba said to the king, "There is still a son of Jonathan who is lame in his feet."H4428H559H657H376H1004H7586H6213H2617H430H6717H559H4428H3083H1121H5223H72724So the king said to him, "Where is he?" And Ziba said to the king, "Indeed he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, in Lo Debar."H4428H559H375H6717H559H4428H1004H4353H1121H5988H38105Then King David sent and brought him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo Debar.H4428H1732H7971H3947H1004H4353H1121H5988H38106Now when Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, had come to David, he fell on his face and prostrated himself. Then David said, "Mephibosheth?" And he answered, "Here is your servant!"H4648H1121H3083H1121H7586H935H1732H5307H6440H7812H1732H559H4648H559H56507So David said to him, "Do not fear, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father's sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather; and you shall eat bread at my table continually."H1732H559H3372H6213H6213H2617H3083H1H7725H7704H7586H1H398H3899H7979H85488Then he bowed himself, and said, "What is your servant, that you should look upon such a dead dog as I?"H7812H559H5650H6437H4191H36119And the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said to him, "I have given to your master's son all that belonged to Saul and to all his house.H4428H7121H6717H7586H5288H559H5414H113H1121H1961H7586H100410"You therefore, and your sons and your servants, shall work the land for him, and you shall bring in the harvest, that your master's son may have food to eat. But Mephibosheth your master's son shall eat bread at my table always." Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.H1121H5650H5647H127H935H113H1121H3899H398H4648H113H1121H398H3899H8548H7979H6717H2568H6240H1121H6242H565011Then Ziba said to the king, "According to all that my lord the king has commanded his servant, so will your servant do." "As for Mephibosheth," said the king, "he shall eat at my table like one of the king's sons."H559H6717H4428H113H4428H6680H5650H5650H6213H4648H398H7979H259H4428H112112Mephibosheth had a young son whose name was Micha. And all who dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants of Mephibosheth.H4648H6996H1121H8034H4316H4186H1004H6717H5650H464813So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem, for he ate continually at the king's table. And he was lame in both his feet.H4648H3427H3389H398H8548H4428H7979H6455H8147H7272
