9Then the kingH4428 summonedH7121 Saul’sH7586 servantH5288 ZibaH6717 and saidH559 to him, “1EverythingH3605 that belongedH1961 to SaulH7586 and to allH3605 his houseH1004 I have givenH5414 to your master’sH113 2grandsonH1121.

10You and your sonsH1121 and your servantsH5650 shall cultivateH5647 the landH127 for him, and you shall bringH935 inH935 the produce so that your master’sH113 grandsonH1121 will haveH1961 foodH3899 3to eatH398; nevertheless 4MephiboshethH4648, your master’sH113 grandsonH1121, 5shall 6eatH398 at my tableH7979 regularlyH8548.” Now ZibaH6717 had fifteenH2568H6240 sonsH1121 and twentyH6242 servantsH5650.

11Then ZibaH6717 saidH559 to the kingH4428, “In accordance 7with everythingH3605 that my lordH113 the kingH4428 commandsH6680 his servantH5650, soH3651 your servantH5650 will doH6213.” So MephiboshethH4648 ateH398 at 8David’s tableH7979 as oneH259 of the king’sH4428 sonsH1121.

12MephiboshethH4648 had a youngH6996 sonH1121 whose nameH8034 was MicaH4316. And allH3605 who livedH4186 in the houseH1004 of ZibaH6717 were servantsH5650 to MephiboshethH4648.
