1 And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?
2 And [there was] of the house of Saul a servant whose name [was] Ziba. And when they had called him to David, the king said to him, [Are] you Ziba? And he said, Your servant [is he].
3 And the king said, [Is] there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God to him? And Ziba said to the king, Jonathan has yet a son, [which is] lame on [his] feet.
4 And the king said to him, Where [is] he? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he [is] in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar.
5 Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar.
6 Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come to David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold your servant!
7 And David said to him, Fear not: for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father's sake, and will restore you all the land of Saul your father; and you will eat bread at my table continually.
8 And he bowed himself, and said, What [is] your servant, that you should look upon such a dead dog as I [am]?
9 Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said to him, I have given to your master's son all that pertained to Saul and to all his house.
10 You therefore, and your sons, and your servants, will till the land for him, and you will bring in [the fruits], that your master's son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth your master's son will eat bread always at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
11 Then said Ziba 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 will eat at my table, as one of the king's sons.
12 And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name [was] Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba [were] servants to Mephibosheth.
13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he ate continually at the king's table; and was lame on both his feet.
