Berean Standard Bible
And
David saith
, `
Is there yet
any
left to
the house of Saul ,
and
I do
with
him
kindness because
of Jonathan? '
Then
David asked
, “
Is there anyone
left from
the house of Saul to
whom
I can
show
kindness for
the
sake
of Jonathan? ”
And the
house
of
Saul
hath
a servant ,
and
his
name
`is'
Ziba ,
and
they call
for
him unto
David ;
and the king saith
unto
him
, `Art
thou
Ziba? '
and
he
saith,
`Thy
servant. '
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 saith
, `
Is there not
yet
a
man
to
the
house
of Saul,
and
I do
with
him
the kindness of God? '
And
Ziba saith
unto
the
king
, `Jonathan
hath
yet
a
son --
lame. '
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
saith
to
him,
`
Where `
is '
he? '
and
Ziba
saith
unto
the king, `Lo
, he `
is '
in the house of Machir ,
son of Ammiel ,
in
Lo-Debar
. '
“
Where is he? ”
replied
the king .
And
Ziba
said
, “Indeed
, he is in Lo-debar
at
the house of Machir son of Ammiel. ”
And
king David sendeth,
and
taketh
him out
of
the house of Machir son of Ammiel ,
of
Lo-Debar ,
So
King David had
him brought
from
the house of Machir son of Ammiel in
Lo-debar .
and Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, son of Saul, cometh
unto
David, and
falleth
on
his
face,
and
doth
obeisance,
and
David saith
, `
Mephibosheth ;'
and
he
saith,
`Lo,
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
saith
to
him,
`Be
not afraid ;
for I certainly
do
with
thee
kindness because
of Jonathan
thy
father ,
and
have
given
back
to thee
all the field
of Saul thy
father
, and thou
dost
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
boweth
himself,
and saith
, `
What `
is '
thy
servant, that thou
hast
turned
unto
the
dead dog --
such
as
I
? '
Mephibosheth
bowed
down
and said
, “
What is your
servant, that you
should
show
regard
for
a
dead dog like
me
? ”
And
the king calleth
unto
Ziba
servant of
Saul,
and saith
unto
him, `
All that was
to Saul and to all his house ,
I
have
given
to
the
son
of
thy
lord,
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 .
and
thou
hast
served
for
him
the
land,
thou
and thy
sons ,
and thy
servants ,
and hast
brought
in ,
and
there
hath
been
to
the son
of
thy
lord
bread
, and
he
hath
eaten
it;
and
Mephibosheth son
of
thy
lord
doth
eat continually
bread
at my table ;'
and
Ziba hath
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.
And Ziba saith
unto
the king, `According
to
all that my lord the king commandeth
his
servant,
so doth
thy
servant;'
as
to
Mephibosheth ,
`he
is
eating
at my
table (`saith
the
king')
as
one of the sons of
the
king
. '
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 hath
a young son ,
and
his
name
`is'
Micha
, and every
one
dwelling
in the house of Ziba `are'
servants to
Mephibosheth.
And Mephibosheth had
a young son named
Mica
, and all
who
dwelt
in the house of Ziba were
servants of
Mephibosheth.
And
Mephibosheth is
dwelling
in Jerusalem, for
at the table of
the
king
he
is
eating
continually
, and he `is'
lame of
his
two
feet.
So
Mephibosheth lived
in Jerusalem, because
he
always
ate
at the king’s
table, and he was
lame in
both
feet.
