    1David asked, "Is there anyone still left from the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan's sake?"

    2Now there was a servant from Saul's household named Ziba. They summoned him to David, and the king said to him, "Are you Ziba?" He replied, "I am your servant."

    3Then the king asked, "Is there no one still alive from the house of Saul to whom I can show God's kindness?" Ziba answered the king, "There is still a son of Jonathan; he is lame in both feet."

    4The king asked, "Where is he?" Ziba answered, "He is in the house of Machir, son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar."

    5So King David sent for him and brought him from the house of Machir, son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar.

    6When Mephibosheth, son of Jonathan and grandson of Saul, came to David, he bowed down to pay him honor. David said, "Mephibosheth!" "At your service," he replied.

    7"Don’t be afraid," David said to him, "for I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table."

    8Mephibosheth bowed down and said, "What is your servant, that you should notice a dead dog like me?"

    9Then the king summoned Ziba, Saul’s steward, and said to him, "I have given your master’s grandson everything that belonged to Saul and his family."

    10You and your sons and your servants are to farm the land for him and bring in the crops, so that your master’s grandson may be provided for. But Mephibosheth, your master’s grandson, will always eat at my table." (Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.)

    11Then Ziba said to the king, "Your servant will do whatever my lord the king commands his servant to do." So Mephibosheth ate at David’s table like one of the king’s sons.
