Berean Standard Bible
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?
Then
David asked
, “
Is there anyone
left from
the house of Saul to
whom
I can
show kindness for the
sake of
Jonathan
? ”
And there was of
the
house
of
Saul
a servant whose
name
was
Ziba. And
when
they had
called
him unto
David, the king said
unto
him
, Art
thou
Ziba? And
he
said,
Thy
servant is
he.
And there was a servant of
Saul’s
family
named
Ziba. They summoned
him to
David, and
the king inquired
, “Are
you
Ziba? ”
“I
am
your
servant ,”
he replied
.
And
the king said
, Is there not
yet
any
of
the
house
of Saul,
that
I may
show the kindness of God unto
him
? And
Ziba said
unto
the
king
, Jonathan
hath
yet
a
son, which
is lame on
his
feet.
So
the king asked
, “
Is there anyone
left
of Saul’s
family
to
whom
I can
show the kindness of God? ”
Ziba answered
, “There
is
still
Jonathan’s
son, who
is lame in
both
feet. ”
And
the
king
said
unto
him,
Where is he? And Ziba said unto
the
king
, Behold
, he is in the house of Machir ,
the
son of Ammiel ,
in
Lodebar
.
“
Where is he? ”
replied
the
king.
And Ziba said, “Indeed
, he is in Lo-debar
at
the house of Machir son of Ammiel. ”
Then
king David sent,
and
fetched
him out
of
the house of Machir ,
the
son of Ammiel ,
from
Lodebar
.
So
King David had
him brought
from
the house of Machir son of Ammiel in
Lo-debar
.
Now
when Mephibosheth ,
the
son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was
come
unto
David, he fell on
his
face,
and
did
reverence. And
David said, Mephibosheth .
And
he
answered,
Behold
thy
servant
!
And
when Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came
to
David, he fell facedown
in
reverence. Then
David said, “
Mephibosheth! ”
“I
am
your
servant,”
he
replied.
And
David
said unto
him
, Fear
not:
for I will surely
show thee
kindness for Jonathan
thy
father's
sake ,
and
will restore thee
all the land of Saul thy
father;
and thou
shalt
eat bread
at my table continually
.
“Do
not
be
afraid,”
said David
, “
for surely
I will show you
kindness for the
sake of
your
father
Jonathan.
I
will restore to
you
all the land of your
grandfather
Saul ,
and you
will
always
eat at my table. ”
And
he
bowed himself,
and said, What is thy
servant, that thou
shouldest
look
upon
such
a dead dog as
I
am
?
Mephibosheth
bowed down
and said, “
What is your
servant, that you
should
show
regard
for
a dead dog like
me
? ”
Then the king called
to
Ziba,
Saul's
servant ,
and said unto
him, I have given unto
thy
master's
son
all that pertained
to Saul and to all his house.
Then the king summoned
Saul’s
servant Ziba
and said to
him, “
I have given to
your
master’s
grandson
all that belonged
to Saul and to all his house.
Thou
therefore,
and thy
sons ,
and thy
servants ,
shall
till
the land
for him ,
and thou
shalt
bring in the fruits
, that thy
master's
son
may have food to eat :
but Mephibosheth thy
master's
son
shall
eat bread
alway
at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
You
and your
sons and servants are
to
work
the ground
for him and bring in the harvest
, so
that your
master’s
grandson
may have food to eat .
But Mephibosheth ,
your
master’s
grandson,
is
always
to
eat at my table. ”
Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
Then
said
Ziba unto
the king, According
to
all that my lord the king hath
commanded his
servant,
so
shall
thy
servant
do
. As
for
Mephibosheth ,
said
the
king,
he
shall
eat
at my
table ,
as
one of the king's
sons.
And
Ziba said
to
the king, “Your
servant
will
do
all that my lord the king has
commanded. ”
So
Mephibosheth ate
at David’s
table like
one of the king’s
own
sons.
And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose
name
was
Micha.
And all that
dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto
Mephibosheth.
And Mephibosheth had a young son named
Mica
, and all who
dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants of
Mephibosheth.
So Mephibosheth dwelt
in Jerusalem :
for
he did
eat
continually
at the king's
table ;
and was lame on
both his
feet.
So Mephibosheth lived
in Jerusalem ,
because
he always
ate
at the king’s
table ,
and he
was lame in
both feet.
