1 A nd DavidH1732 said,H559 Is there yetH3426 any that is leftH3498 of the houseH1004 of Saul,H7586 that I may showH6213 him kindnessH2617 for Jonathan'sH3083 sake?
2 And there was of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586 a servantH5650 whose nameH8034 was Ziba,H6717 and they calledH7121 him unto David;H1732 and the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, Art thou Ziba?H6717 And he said,H559 Thy servantH5650 is he.
3 And the kingH4428 said,H559 Is there notH657 yet anyH376 of the houseH1004 of Saul,H7586 that I may showH6213 the kindnessH2617 of GodH430 unto him? And ZibaH6717 saidH559 unto the king,H4428 JonathanH3083 hath yet a son,H1121 who is lameH5223 of his feet.H7272
4 And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, WhereH375 is he? And ZibaH6717 saidH559 unto the king,H4428 Behold, he is in the houseH1004 of MachirH4353 the sonH1121 of Ammiel,H5988 in Lo-debar.H3810
5 Then kingH4428 DavidH1732 sent,H7971 and fetchedH3947 him out of the houseH1004 of MachirH4353 the sonH1121 of Ammiel,H5988 from Lo-debar.H3810
6 And Mephibosheth,H4648 the sonH1121 of Jonathan,H3083 the sonH1121 of Saul,H7586 cameH935 unto David,H1732 and fellH5307 on his face,H6440 and did obeisance.H7812 And DavidH1732 said,H559 Mephibosheth.H4648 And he answered,H559 Behold, thy servant!H5650
7 And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto him, FearH3372 not; for I will surelyH6213 showH6213 thee kindnessH2617 for JonathanH3083 thy father'sH1 sake, and will restoreH7725 thee all the landH7704 of SaulH7586 thy father;H1 and thou shalt eatH398 breadH3899 at my tableH7979 continually.H8548
8 And he did obeisance,H7812 and said,H559 What is thy servant,H5650 that thou shouldest lookH6437 upon such a deadH4191 dogH3611 as I am?
9 Then the kingH4428 calledH7121 to Ziba,H6717 Saul'sH7586 servant,H5288 and saidH559 unto him, All that pertainedH1961 to SaulH7586 and to all his houseH1004 have I givenH5414 unto thy master'sH113 son.H1121
10 And thou shalt tillH5647 the landH127 for him, thou, and thy sons,H1121 and thy servants;H5650 and thou shalt bringH935 in [the fruits], that thy master'sH113 sonH1121 may have breadH3899 to eat:H398 but MephiboshethH4648 thy master'sH113 sonH1121 shall eatH398 breadH3899 alwayH8548 at my table.H7979 Now ZibaH6717 had fifteenH2568 sonsH1121 and twentyH6242 servants.H5650
11 Then saidH559 ZibaH6717 unto the king,H4428 According to all that my lordH113 the kingH4428 commandethH6680 his servant,H5650 so shall thy servantH5650 do.H6213 As for Mephibosheth,H4648 [said the king], he shall eatH398 at my table,H7979 as oneH259 of the king'sH4428 sons.H1121
12 And MephiboshethH4648 had a youngH6996 son,H1121 whose nameH8034 was Mica.H4316 And all that dweltH4186 in the houseH1004 of ZibaH6717 were servantsH5650 unto Mephibosheth.H4648
13 So MephiboshethH4648 dweltH3427 in Jerusalem;H3389 for he did eatH398 continuallyH8548 at the king'sH4428 table.H7979 And he was lameH6455 in bothH8147 his feet.H7272
