And David{H1732} said{H559}{(H8799)}, Is there yet{H3426} any that is left{H3498}{(H8738)} of the house{H1004} of Saul{H7586}, that I may shew{H6213}{(H8799)} him kindness{H2617} for Jonathan's{H3083} sake?

And there was of the house{H1004} of Saul{H7586} a servant{H5650} whose name{H8034} was Ziba{H6717}. And when they had called{H7121}{(H8799)} him unto David{H1732}, the king{H4428} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, Art thou Ziba{H6717}? And he said{H559}{(H8799)}, Thy servant{H5650} is he.

And the king{H4428} said{H559}{(H8799)}, Is there not{H657} yet any{H376} of the house{H1004} of Saul{H7586}, that I may shew{H6213}{(H8799)} the kindness{H2617} of God{H430} unto him? And Ziba{H6717} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the king{H4428}, Jonathan{H3083} hath yet a son{H1121}, which is lame{H5223} on his feet{H7272}.

And the king{H4428} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, Where{H375} is he? And Ziba{H6717} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the king{H4428}, Behold, he is in the house{H1004} of Machir{H4353}, the son{H1121} of Ammiel{H5988}, in Lodebar{H3810}.

Then king{H4428} David{H1732} sent{H7971}{(H8799)}, and fetched{H3947}{(H8799)} him out of the house{H1004} of Machir{H4353}, the son{H1121} of Ammiel{H5988}, from Lodebar{H3810}.

Now when Mephibosheth{H4648}, the son{H1121} of Jonathan{H3083}, the son{H1121} of Saul{H7586}, was come{H935}{(H8799)} unto David{H1732}, he fell{H5307}{(H8799)} on his face{H6440}, and did reverence{H7812}{(H8691)}. And David{H1732} said{H559}{(H8799)}, Mephibosheth{H4648}. And he answered{H559}{(H8799)}, Behold thy servant{H5650}!

And David{H1732} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, Fear{H3372}{(H8799)} not: for I will surely{H6213}{(H8800)} shew{H6213}{(H8799)} thee kindness{H2617} for Jonathan{H3083} thy father's{H1} sake, and will restore{H7725}{(H8689)} thee all the land{H7704} of Saul{H7586} thy father{H1}; and thou shalt eat{H398}{(H8799)} bread{H3899} at my table{H7979} continually{H8548}.

And he bowed{H7812}{(H8691)} himself, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, What is thy servant{H5650}, that thou shouldest look{H6437}{(H8804)} upon such a dead{H4191}{(H8801)} dog{H3611} as I am?

Then the king{H4428} called{H7121}{(H8799)} to Ziba{H6717}, Saul's{H7586} servant{H5288}, and said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, I have given{H5414}{(H8804)} unto thy master's{H113} son{H1121} all that pertained{H1961}{(H8804)} to Saul{H7586} and to all his house{H1004}.

Thou therefore, and thy sons{H1121}, and thy servants{H5650}, shall till{H5647}{(H8804)} the land{H127} for him, and thou shalt bring{H935}{(H8689)} in the fruits, that thy master's{H113} son{H1121} may have food{H3899} to eat{H398}{(H8804)}: but Mephibosheth{H4648} thy master's{H113} son{H1121} shall eat{H398}{(H8799)} bread{H3899} alway{H8548} at my table{H7979}. Now Ziba{H6717} had fifteen{H2568}{H6240} sons{H1121} and twenty{H6242} servants{H5650}.

Then said{H559}{(H8799)} Ziba{H6717} unto the king{H4428}, According to all that my lord{H113} the king{H4428} hath commanded{H6680}{(H8762)} his servant{H5650}, so shall thy servant{H5650} do{H6213}{(H8799)}. As for Mephibosheth{H4648}, said the king, he shall eat{H398}{(H8802)} at my table{H7979}, as one{H259} of the king's{H4428} sons{H1121}.

And Mephibosheth{H4648} had a young{H6996} son{H1121}, whose name{H8034} was Micha{H4316}. And all that dwelt{H4186} in the house{H1004} of Ziba{H6717} were servants{H5650} unto Mephibosheth{H4648}.

So Mephibosheth{H4648} dwelt{H3427}{(H8802)} in Jerusalem{H3389}: for he did eat{H398}{(H8802)} continually{H8548} at the king's{H4428} table{H7979}; and was lame{H6455} on both{H8147} his feet{H7272}.
