And David <H1732> said, <H0559> Is there <H3426> yet any that is left <H3498> of the house <H1004> of Saul, <H7586> that I may shew <H6213> him kindness <H2617> for Jonathan's <H3083> sake?
2
And [there was] of the house <H1004> of Saul <H7586> a servant <H5650> whose name <H8034> [was] Ziba. <H6717> And when they had called <H7121> him unto David, <H1732> the king <H4428> said <H0559> unto him, [Art] thou Ziba? <H6717> And he said, <H0559> Thy servant <H5650> [is he].
3
And the king <H4428> said, <H0559> [Is] there not <H0657> yet any <H0376> of the house <H1004> of Saul, <H7586> that I may shew <H6213> the kindness <H2617> of God <H0430> unto him? And Ziba <H6717> said <H0559> unto the king, <H4428> Jonathan <H3083> hath yet a son, <H1121> [which is] lame <H5223> on [his] feet. <H7272>
4
And the king <H4428> said <H0559> unto him, Where <H0375> [is] he? And Ziba <H6717> said <H0559> unto the king, <H4428> Behold, he [is] in the house <H1004> of Machir, <H4353> the son <H1121> of Ammiel, <H5988> in Lodebar. <H3810>
5
Then king <H4428> David <H1732> sent, <H7971> and fetched <H3947> him out of the house <H1004> of Machir, <H4353> the son <H1121> of Ammiel, <H5988> from Lodebar. <H3810>
6
Now when Mephibosheth, <H4648> the son <H1121> of Jonathan, <H3083> the son <H1121> of Saul, <H7586> was come <H0935> unto David, <H1732> he fell <H5307> on his face, <H6440> and did reverence. <H7812> And David <H1732> said, <H0559> Mephibosheth. <H4648> And he answered, <H0559> Behold thy servant! <H5650>
7
And David <H1732> said <H0559> unto him, Fear <H3372> not: for I will surely <H6213> shew <H6213> thee kindness <H2617> for Jonathan <H3083> thy father's <H0001> sake, and will restore <H7725> thee all the land <H7704> of Saul <H7586> thy father; <H0001> and thou shalt eat <H0398> bread <H3899> at my table <H7979> continually. <H8548>
8
And he bowed <H7812> himself, and said, <H0559> What [is] thy servant, <H5650> that thou shouldest look <H6437> upon such a dead <H4191> dog <H3611> as I [am]?
9
Then the king <H4428> called <H7121> to Ziba, <H6717> Saul's <H7586> servant, <H5288> and said <H0559> unto him, I have given <H5414> unto thy master's <H0113> son <H1121> all that pertained <H1961> to Saul <H7586> and to all his house. <H1004>
10
Thou therefore, and thy sons, <H1121> and thy servants, <H5650> shall till <H5647> the land <H0127> for him, and thou shalt bring in <H0935> [the fruits], that thy master's <H0113> son <H1121> may have food <H3899> to eat: <H0398> but Mephibosheth <H4648> thy master's <H0113> son <H1121> shall eat <H0398> bread <H3899> alway <H8548> at my table. <H7979> Now Ziba <H6717> had fifteen <H2568> <H6240> sons <H1121> and twenty <H6242> servants. <H5650>
11
Then said <H0559> Ziba <H6717> unto the king, <H4428> According to all that my lord <H0113> the king <H4428> hath commanded <H6680> his servant, <H5650> so shall thy servant <H5650> do. <H6213> As for Mephibosheth, <H4648> [said the king], he shall eat <H0398> at my table, <H7979> as one <H0259> of the king's <H4428> sons. <H1121>
12
And Mephibosheth <H4648> had a young <H6996> son, <H1121> whose name <H8034> [was] Micha. <H4316> And all that dwelt <H4186> in the house <H1004> of Ziba <H6717> [were] servants <H5650> unto Mephibosheth. <H4648>
13
So Mephibosheth <H4648> dwelt <H3427> in Jerusalem: <H3389> for he did eat <H0398> continually <H8548> at the king's <H4428> table; <H7979> and was lame <H6455> on both <H8147> his feet. <H7272>
