2 Samuel 16:1-4

1Now when David had gone on 1a little beyond the summit, behold, 2Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him 3with a team of saddled donkeys, and on them were two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred cakes of raisins, a hundred summer fruits, and a jug of wine. 2And the king said to Ziba, “Why do you have these?” And Ziba said, “4The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride, the bread and summer fruit are for the young men to eat, and the wine, 5for whoever is weary in the wilderness to drink.” 3Then the king said, “And where is 6your master’s son?” And 7Ziba said to the king, “Behold, he is staying in Jerusalem, for he said, ‘Today the house of Israel will restore the kingdom of my father to me.’” 4So the king said to Ziba, “Behold, all that belongs to Mephibosheth is yours.” And Ziba said, “I prostrate myself; may I find favor in your sight, my lord, the king!”
