New American Standard Bible 1995

2 Samuel 9:9-13

9Then the king called Saul’s servant Ziba and said to him, “1All that belonged to Saul and to all his house I have given to your master’s 2grandson.

10You and your sons and your servants shall cultivate the land for him, and you shall bring in the produce so that your master’s grandson may have food; nevertheless 3Mephibosheth your master’s grandson 4shall 5eat at my table regularly.” Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

11Then Ziba said to the king, “According 6to all that my lord the king commands his servant so your servant will do.” So Mephibosheth ate at 7David’s table as one of the king’s sons.

12Mephibosheth had a young son whose name was Mica. And all who lived in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.

13So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, for 8he ate at the king’s table regularly. Now 9he was lame in both feet.
