2 Samuel 16:1-4
1And when DavidH1732 was a littleH4592 past the topH7218 of the ascent, beholdH2009, ZibaH6717 the servantH5288 of MephiboshethH4648 metH7122 him, with a coupleH6776 of asses saddledH2280, and uponH5921 them twoH6776 hundredH3967 loavesH3899 of breadH3899, and an hundredH3967 clustersH6778 of raisinsH6778, and an hundredH3967 of summerH7019 fruits, and a bottle of wineH3196.
2And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto ZibaH6717, WhatH4100 meanest thou by theseH428? And ZibaH6717 saidH559, The asses be for the king’sH4428 householdH1004 to rideH7392 on; and the breadH3899 and summerH7019 fruitH3899 for the youngH5288 menH5288 to eatH398; and the wineH3196, that suchH428 as be faintH3287 in the wildernessH4057 may drinkH8354.
3And the kingH4428 saidH559, And whereH346 is thy master’sH113 sonH1121? And ZibaH6717 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, BeholdH2009, he abideth at JerusalemH3389: for he saidH559, TodayH3117 shall the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 restoreH7725 meH413 the kingdomH4468 of my fatherH1.
4Then saidH559 the kingH4428 to ZibaH6717, BeholdH2009, thine is allH3605 that pertaineth unto MephiboshethH4648. And ZibaH6717 saidH559, I doH3605 obeisance; let meH4672 findH4672 favour in thy sightH5869, my lordH113, O kingH4428.
