    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.

    12Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica, and all the members of Ziba’s household were servants of Mephibosheth.

    13And Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the king’s table; he was lame in both feet.

    2The king asked Ziba, "Why have you brought these?" Ziba answered, "The donkeys are for the king's household to ride on, the bread and summer fruit are for the young men to eat, and the wine is for those who become weary in the wilderness to drink."
