1David Finds Mephibosheth Then David asked,“Is anyone still left from the family of Saul, so that I may extend kindness to him for the sake of Jonathan?”
2Now there was a servant from Saul’s house named Ziba, so he was summoned to David. The king asked him,“Are you Ziba?” He replied,“At your service.”
3The king asked,“Is there not someone left from Saul’s family, that I may extend God’s kindness to him?” Ziba said to the king,“One of Jonathan’s sons is left; both of his feet are crippled.”
4The king asked him,“Where is he?” Ziba told the king,“He is at the house of Makir son of Ammiel in Lo Debar.”
5So King David had him brought from the house of Makir son of Ammiel in Lo Debar.
6When Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, he bowed low with his face toward the ground. David said,“Mephibosheth?” He replied,“Yes, at your service.”
7David said to him,“Don’t be afraid, because I will certainly extend kindness to you for the sake of Jonathan your father. I will give back to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will be a regular guest at my table.”
8Then Mephibosheth bowed and said,“Of what importance am I, your servant, that you show regard for a dead dog like me?”
9Then the king summoned Ziba, Saul’s attendant, and said to him,“Everything that belonged to Saul and to his entire house I hereby give to your master’s grandson.
10You will cultivate the land for him– you and your sons and your servants. You will bring its produce and it will be food for your master’s grandson to eat. But Mephibosheth, your master’s grandson, will be a regular guest at my table.”(Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.)
11Ziba said to the king,“Your servant will do everything that my lord the king has instructed his servant to do.” So Mephibosheth was a regular guest at David’s table, just as though he were one of the king’s sons.
12Now Mephibosheth had a young son whose name was Mica. All the members of Ziba’s household were Mephibosheth’s servants.
13Mephibosheth was living in Jerusalem, for he was a regular guest at the king’s table. But both his feet were crippled.

22But David said,“What do we have in common, you sons of Zeruiah? You are like my enemy today! Should anyone be put to death in Israel today? Don’t I know that today I am king over Israel?”
23The king said to Shimei,“You won’t die.” The king vowed an oath concerning this.
24Now Mephibosheth, Saul’s grandson, came down to meet the king. From the day the king had left until the day he safely returned, Mephibosheth had not cared for his feet nor trimmed his mustache nor washed his clothes.
25When he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, the king asked him,“Why didn’t you go with me, Mephibosheth?”
26He replied,“My lord the king, my servant deceived me! I said,‘Let me get my donkey saddled so that I can ride on it and go with the king,’ for I am lame.
27But my servant has slandered me to my lord the king. But my lord the king is like an angel of God. Do whatever seems appropriate to you.
28After all, there was no one in the entire house of my grandfather who did not deserve death from my lord the king. But instead you allowed me to eat at your own table! What further claim do I have to ask the king for anything?”
