1 # And David <01732> said <0559> (8799), Is there yet <03426> any that is left <03498> (8738) of the house <01004> of Saul <07586>, that I may shew <06213> (8799) him kindness <02617> for Jonathan's <03083> sake?
2 And there was of the house <01004> of Saul <07586> a servant <05650> whose name <08034> was Ziba <06717> . And when they had called <07121> (8799) him unto David <01732>, the king <04428> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Art thou Ziba <06717>? And he said <0559> (8799), Thy servant <05650> is he.
3 And the king <04428> said <0559> (8799), Is there not <0657> yet any <0376> of the house <01004> of Saul <07586>, that I may shew <06213> (8799) the kindness <02617> of God <0430> unto him? And Ziba <06717> said <0559> (8799) unto the king <04428>, Jonathan <03083> hath yet a son <01121>, which is lame <05223> on his feet <07272>.
4 And the king <04428> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Where <0375> is he? And Ziba <06717> said <0559> (8799) unto the king <04428>, Behold, he is in the house <01004> of Machir <04353>, the son <01121> of Ammiel <05988> , in Lodebar <03810>.
5 Then king <04428> David <01732> sent <07971> (8799), and fetched <03947> (8799) him out of the house <01004> of Machir <04353>, the son <01121> of Ammiel <05988>, from Lodebar <03810>.
6 Now when Mephibosheth <04648>, the son <01121> of Jonathan <03083>, the son <01121> of Saul <07586>, was come <0935> (8799) unto David <01732>, he fell <05307> (8799) on his face <06440>, and did reverence <07812> (8691) . And David <01732> said <0559> (8799), Mephibosheth <04648>. And he answered <0559> (8799), Behold thy servant <05650>!
7 And David <01732> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Fear <03372> (8799) not: for I will surely <06213> (8800) shew <06213> (8799) thee kindness <02617> for Jonathan <03083> thy father's <01> sake, and will restore <07725> (8689) thee all the land <07704> of Saul <07586> thy father <01>; and thou shalt eat <0398> (8799) bread <03899> at my table <07979> continually <08548>.
8 And he bowed <07812> (8691) himself, and said <0559> (8799), What is thy servant <05650>, that thou shouldest look <06437> (8804) upon such a dead <04191> (8801) dog <03611> as I am?
9 # Then the king <04428> called <07121> (8799) to Ziba <06717>, Saul's <07586> servant <05288>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, I have given <05414> (8804) unto thy master's <0113> son <01121> all that pertained <01961> (8804) to Saul <07586> and to all his house <01004>.
10 Thou therefore, and thy sons <01121>, and thy servants <05650>, shall till <05647> (8804) the land <0127> for him, and thou shalt bring <0935> (8689) in the fruits, that thy master's <0113> son <01121> may have food <03899> to eat <0398> (8804): but Mephibosheth <04648> thy master's <0113> son <01121> shall eat <0398> (8799) bread <03899> alway <08548> at my table <07979>. Now Ziba <06717> had fifteen <02568> <06240> sons <01121> and twenty <06242> servants <05650>.
11 Then said <0559> (8799) Ziba <06717> unto the king <04428>, According to all that my lord <0113> the king <04428> hath commanded <06680> (8762) his servant <05650>, so shall thy servant <05650> do <06213> (8799). As for Mephibosheth <04648>, said the king, he shall eat <0398> (8802) at my table <07979>, as one <0259> of the king's <04428> sons <01121>.
12 And Mephibosheth <04648> had a young <06996> son <01121>, whose name <08034> was Micha <04316>. And all that dwelt <04186> in the house <01004> of Ziba <06717> were servants <05650> unto Mephibosheth <04648>.
13 So Mephibosheth <04648> dwelt <03427> (8802) in Jerusalem <03389>: for he did eat <0398> (8802) continually <08548> at the king's <04428> table <07979>; and was lame <06455> on both <08147> his feet <07272>.
