2 Samuel 9
1And DavidH1732 saidH559, Is there yetH5750 any that is leftH3498 of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan's sakeH5668? 2And there was of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586 a servantH5650 whose nameH8034 was ZibaH6717; and they calledH7121 him to DavidH1732. And the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, Art thou ZibaH6717? And he saidH559, Thy servantH5650! 3And the kingH4428 saidH559, Is there not yetH5750 any of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586, that I may shew the kindness of 1GodH430 to him? And ZibaH6717 saidH559 to the kingH4428, JonathanH3083 has yetH5750 a sonH1121, who is lame on [his] feetH7272. 4And the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, WhereH375 is he? And ZibaH6717 saidH559 to the kingH4428, Behold, he is in the houseH1004 of Machir the sonH1121 of AmmielH5988, in Lodebar. 5And kingH4428 DavidH1732 sentH7971, and fetched him out of the houseH1004 of Machir the sonH1121 of AmmielH5988, from Lodebar. 6And MephiboshethH4648, the sonH1121 of JonathanH3083, the sonH1121 of SaulH7586, cameH935 to DavidH1732, and fellH5307 on his faceH6440 and did obeisance. And DavidH1732 saidH559, MephiboshethH4648. And he saidH559, Behold thy servantH5650! 7And DavidH1732 saidH559 to him, FearH3372 not; for I will certainly shew thee kindness for JonathanH3083 thy father's sakeH5668, and will restoreH7725 thee all the landH7704 of SaulH7586 thy fatherH1; and thou shalt eatH398 breadH3899 at my tableH7979 continuallyH8548. 8And he bowedH7812 himself, and saidH559, What is thy servantH5650, that thou shouldest look upon such a deadH4191 dogH3611 as I am? 9Then the kingH4428 calledH7121 ZibaH6717, Saul's servantH5288, and saidH559 to him, I have givenH5414 to thy master's sonH1121 all that belongedH1961 to SaulH7586 and to all his houseH1004. 10And thou, and thy sonsH1121, and thy servantsH5650, shall till the landH127 for him, and thou shalt bringH935 in [the fruits], that thy master's sonH1121 may have foodH3899 to eatH398. And MephiboshethH4648 thy master's sonH1121 shall eatH398 breadH3899 at my tableH7979 continuallyH8548. Now ZibaH6717 had fifteen sonsH1121 and twentyH6242 servantsH5650. 11And ZibaH6717 saidH559 to the kingH4428, According to all that my lordH113 the kingH4428 has commandedH6680 his servantH5650, soH3651 will thy servantH5650 do. And MephiboshethH4648 [saidH559 David] shall eatH398 at my tableH7979, as oneH259 of the king's sonsH1121. 12And MephiboshethH4648 had a youngH1121 sonH1121, whose nameH8034 was MicaH4316. And all who dwelt in the houseH1004 of ZibaH6717 were servantsH5650 to MephiboshethH4648. 13So MephiboshethH4648 dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389; for he did eatH398 continuallyH8548 at the king's tableH7979. And he was lameH6455 on both his feetH7272.
