2 Samuel  


9 : 1 Then David said, "Is there yet anyone left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan`s sake?"
9 : 2 Now there was a servant of the house of Saul whose name was Ziba, and they called him to David; and the king said to him, "Are you Ziba?" And he said, "I am your servant."
9 : 3 The king said, "Is there not yet anyone 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 crippled in both feet."
9 : 4 So 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 Lo-debar."
9 : 5 Then King David sent and brought him from the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar.
9 : 6 Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, came to David and fell on his face and prostrated himself. And David said, "Mephibosheth." And he said, "Here is your servant!"
9 : 7 David said to him, "Do not fear, for I will surely show kindness to you for the sake of your father Jonathan, and will restore to you all the land of your grandfather Saul; and you shall eat at my table regularly."
9 : 8 Again he prostrated himself and said, "What is your servant, that you should regard a dead dog like me?"
9 : 9 Then the king called Saul`s servant Ziba and said to him, "All that belonged to Saul and to all his house I have given to your master`s grandson.
9 : 10 You and your sons and your servants shall cultivate the land for him, and you shall bring in the produce so that your master`s grandson may have food; nevertheless Mephibosheth your master`s grandson shall eat at my table regularly. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
9 : 11 Then Ziba said to the king, "According to all that my lord the king commands his servant so your servant will do." So Mephibosheth ate at David`s table as one of the king`s sons.
9 : 12 Mephibosheth had a young son whose name was Mica. And all who lived in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.
9 : 13 So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, for he ate at the king`s table regularly Now he was lame in both feet.
