1And 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?
2And [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].
3And 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>_.
4And 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>_.
5Then 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>_.
6Now 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>_! {Mephibosheth: also called Meribbaal}
7And 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>_.
8And 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]?
9Then 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>_.
10Thou 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>_.
11Then 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>_.
12And 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>_.
13So 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>_.
