2 Samuel 16:1-4

1And when DavidH1732 was a littleH4592 past the summit, behold, ZibaH6717, Mephibosheth's servantH5288, metH7122 him, with a couple of asses saddledH2280, and upon them two hundredH3967 [loaves] of breadH3899, and a hundredH3967 raisin-cakes, and a hundredH3967 cakes of summerH7019 fruits, and a flask of wineH3196.

2And the kingH4428 saidH559 to ZibaH6717, What meanest thou by these? And ZibaH6717 saidH559, The asses are for the king's householdH1004 to rideH7392 on; and the breadH3899 and summerH7019 fruits 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's sonH1121? And ZibaH6717 saidH559 to the kingH4428, Behold, he abides at JerusalemH3389; for he saidH559, To-day shall the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 restoreH7725 me the kingdomH4468 of my fatherH1.

4And the kingH4428 saidH559 to ZibaH6717, Behold, thine are all that pertained to MephiboshethH4648. And ZibaH6717 saidH559, I humbly bowH7812 myself: may I findH4672 favour in thy sight, my lordH113, O kingH4428.
