2 Samuel 16:1-4

1And when DavidH1732 was a littleH4592 past the topH7218 of the ascent, behold, ZibaH6717 the servantH5288 of MephiboshethH4648 metH7122 him, with a couple of asses saddledH2280, and upon them two hundredH3967 loaves of breadH3899, and a hundredH3967 clusters of raisinsH6778, and a hundredH3967 of summerH7019 fruits, and a bottle of wineH3196. 2And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto ZibaH6717, What meanest thou by these? And ZibaH6717 saidH559, The asses are for the king’sH4428 householdH1004 to rideH7392 on; and the breadH3899 and summerH7019 fruit for the youngH5288 menH5288 to eatH398; and the wineH3196, that such as are faint in the wildernessH4057 may drinkH8354. 3And the kingH4428 saidH559, And whereH346 is thy master’sH113 sonH1121? And ZibaH6717 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, Behold, he abideth at JerusalemH3389; for he saidH559, To-day will the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 restoreH7725 me the kingdomH4468 of my fatherH1. 4Then saidH559 the kingH4428 to ZibaH6717, Behold, thine is all that pertaineth unto MephiboshethH4648. And ZibaH6717 saidH559, I do obeisance; let me findH4672 favorH2580 in thy sight, my lordH113, O kingH4428.
