Then
David asked
, “
Is there anyone
left from
the house of Saul to
whom
I can
show kindness for the
sake of
Jonathan
? ”
David said
, Is there yet
any
who
is
left of
the house of Saul ,
that
I may
show him
kindness for Jonathan's
sake?
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
.
There was of
the
house
of
Saul
a servant whose
name
was
Ziba ,
and
they called
him to David ;
and the king said
to
him
, Are you Ziba? He
said,
Your servant is
he.
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. ”
The king said
, Is there not
yet
any
of the
house
of
Saul,
that
I may
show the kindness of God to
him
? Ziba said
to
the
king
, Jonathan
has
yet
a
son, who is lame of
his
feet.
“
Where is he? ”
replied
the
king.
And
Ziba said, “Indeed
, he is in Lo-debar
at
the house of Machir son of Ammiel. ”
The
king
said
to
him,
Where is he? Ziba said to
the
king
, Behold
, he is in the house of Machir the
son of Ammiel ,
in
Lo
Debar
.
So
King David had
him brought
from
the house of Machir son of Ammiel in
Lo -
debar.
Then
king David sent,
and
fetched
him out
of
the house of Machir the
son of Ammiel ,
from
Lo Debar.
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.
Mephibosheth ,
the
son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, and
fell on
his
face,
and
did
obeisance
. David said, Mephibosheth .
He
answered,
Behold,
your servant !
“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. ”
David said
to
him
, "Don't
be
afraid
of
him;
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 shall
eat bread
at my table continually
. "
Mephibosheth
bowed
down
and said, “
What is your servant, that you should show
regard
for
a dead dog like
me
? ”
He
did
obeisance,
and said, "
What is your servant, that you should look
on
such
a dead dog as
I
am
? "
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.
Then the king called
to
Ziba ,
Saul's
servant,
and said to him, "
All that pertained
to Saul and to all his house have
I
given
to
your
master's
son
.
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.
You shall
till
the
land
for
him,
you,
and your sons ,
and your
servants ;
and you
shall
bring in [
the fruits]
, that your master's
son
may have bread
to eat :
but Mephibosheth your master's
son
shall
eat bread
always
at my table. "
Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
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.
Then
said Ziba
to the king, According
to
all that my lord the king commands
his
servant,
so shall
your
servant
do.
As
for
Mephibosheth ,
[said
the
king],
he
shall
eat
at my
table ,
as
one of the king's
sons.
And
Mephibosheth had a young son named
Mica
, and
all who
dwelt
in the house of Ziba were servants of
Mephibosheth.
Mephibosheth had a young son, whose
name
was
Mica.
All that
lived
in the house of Ziba were servants to
Mephibosheth.
So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem ,
because
he always
ate at the king’s
table ,
and
he was lame in both feet.
So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem ;
for
he ate continually
at the king's
table .
He was lame in both his
feet.
