And David{H1732} said,{H559} Is there yet{H3426} any that is left{H3498} of the house{H1004} of Saul,{H7586} that I may show{H6213} 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 they called{H7121} him unto David;{H1732} and the king{H4428} said{H559} unto him, Art thou Ziba?{H6717} And he said,{H559} Thy servant{H5650} is he.

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

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

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

And Mephibosheth,{H4648} the son{H1121} of Jonathan,{H3083} the son{H1121} of Saul,{H7586} came{H935} unto David,{H1732} and fell{H5307} on his face,{H6440} and did obeisance.{H7812} And David{H1732} said,{H559} Mephibosheth.{H4648} And he answered,{H559} Behold, thy servant!{H5650}

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

And he did obeisance,{H7812} and said,{H559} What is thy servant,{H5650} that thou shouldest look{H6437} upon such a dead{H4191} dog{H3611} as I am?

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

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

Then said{H559} Ziba{H6717} unto the king,{H4428} According to all that my lord{H113} the king{H4428} commandeth{H6680} his servant,{H5650} so shall thy servant{H5650} do.{H6213} As for Mephibosheth,{H4648} [said the king], he shall eat{H398} 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 Mica.{H4316} And all that dwelt{H4186} in the house{H1004} of Ziba{H6717} were servants{H5650} unto Mephibosheth.{H4648}

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