9:1 And
David
said,
"Is
there
still
anyone
left
of
the
house
of
Saul,
that
I
may
show
him
kindness
for
Jonathan's
sake"
9:2 Now
there
was
a
servant
of
the
house
of
Saul
whose
name
was
Ziba,
and
they
called
him
to
David.
And
the
king
said
to
him,
"Are
you
Ziba"
And
he
said,
"I
am
your
servant."
9:3 And
the
king
said,
"Is
there
not
still
someone
of
the
house
of
Saul,
that
I
may
show
the
kindness
of
God
to
him"
Ziba
said
to
the
king,
"There
is
still
a
son
of
Jonathan;
he
is
crippled
in
his
feet."
9:4 The
king
said
to
him,
"Where
is
he"
And
Ziba
said
to
the
king,
"He
is
in
the
house
of
Machir
the
son
of
Ammiel,
at
Lo-debar."
9:5 Then
King
David
sent
and
brought
him
from
the
house
of
Machir
the
son
of
Ammiel,
at
Lo-debar.
9:6 And
Mephibosheth
the
son
of
Jonathan,
son
of
Saul,
came
to
David
and
fell
on
his
face
and
paid
homage.
And
David
said,
"Mephibosheth!"
And
he
answered,
"Behold,
I
am
your
servant."
9:7 And
David
said
to
him,
"Do
not
fear,
for
I
will
show
you
kindness
for
the
sake
of
your
father
Jonathan,
and
I
will
restore
to
you
all
the
land
of
Saul
your
father,
and
you
shall
eat
at
my
table
always."
9:8 And
he
paid
homage
and
said,
"What
is
your
servant,
that
you
should
show
regard
for
a
dead
dog
such
as
I"
9:9 Then
the
king
called
Ziba,
Saul's
servant,
and
said
to
him,
"All
that
belonged
to
Saul
and
to
all
his
house
I
have
given
to
your
master's
grandson.
9:10 And
you
and
your
sons
and
your
servants
shall
till
the
land
for
him
and
shall
bring
in
the
produce,
that
your
master's
grandson
may
have
bread
to
eat.
But
Mephibosheth
your
master's
grandson
shall
always
eat
at
my
table."
Now
Ziba
had
fifteen
sons
and
twenty
servants.
9:11 Then
Ziba
said
to
the
king,
"According
to
all
that
my
lord
the
king
commands
his
servant,
so
will
your
servant
do."
So
Mephibosheth
ate
at
David's
table,
like
one
of
the
king's
sons.
9:12 And
Mephibosheth
had
a
young
son,
whose
name
was
Mica.
And
all
who
lived
in
Ziba's
house
became
Mephibosheth's
servants.
9:13 So
Mephibosheth
lived
in
Jerusalem,
for
he
ate
always
at
the
king's
table.
Now
he
was
lame
in
both
his
feet.
