2 Samuel 9:7-13

7“Do notH408 be afraidH3372,” saidH559 DavidH1732, “forH3588 surely I will showH6213 youH5973 kindnessH2617 for the sakeH5668 of your fatherH1 JonathanH3083. I will restoreH7725 to you allH3605 the landH7704 of your grandfatherH1 SaulH7586, and youH859 will alwaysH8548 eatH398H3899 atH5921 my tableH7979.”

8Mephibosheth bowed downH7812 and saidH559, “WhatH4100 is your servantH5650, thatH3588 you should show regardH6437 forH413 a deadH4191 dogH3611 like meH3644?”

9Then the kingH4428 summonedH7121 Saul’sH7586 servantH5288 ZibaH6717 and saidH559H413 to himH413, “I have givenH5414 to your master’sH113 grandsonH1121 allH3605 thatH834 belonged toH1961 SaulH7586 and to allH3605 his houseH1004. 10YouH859 and your sonsH1121 and servantsH5650 are to workH5647 the groundH127 for him and bring inH935 the harvest, so that your master’sH113 grandsonH1121 may haveH1961 foodH3899 to eatH398. But MephiboshethH4648, your master’sH113 grandsonH1121, is alwaysH8548H3899 to eatH398 atH5921 my tableH7979.”

Now ZibaH6717 had fifteenH2568H6240 sonsH1121 and twentyH6242 servantsH5650. 11And ZibaH6717 saidH559 toH413 the kingH4428, “Your servantH5650H3651 will doH6213H5650 allH3605 thatH834 my lordH113 the kingH4428 has commandedH6680.”

So MephiboshethH4648 ateH398 atH5921 David’s tableH79791 like oneH259 of the king’sH4428 own sonsH1121. 12And MephiboshethH4648 had a youngH6996 sonH1121 namedH8034 MicaH4316,2 and allH3605 who dweltH4186 in the houseH1004 of ZibaH6717 were servantsH5650 of MephiboshethH4648. 13So MephiboshethH4648 livedH3427 in JerusalemH3389, becauseH3588 heH1931 alwaysH8548 ateH398H1931 atH5921 the king’sH4428 tableH7979, and he was lameH6455 in bothH8147 feetH7272.
