[1]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799], Is there yetH3426 any that is leftH3498[H8738] of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586, that I may shewH6213[H8799] him kindnessH2617 for Jonathan's sakeH3083?
[2]And there was of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586 a servantH5650 whose nameH8034 was ZibaH6717. And when they had calledH7121[H8799] him unto DavidH1732, the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799] unto him, Art thou ZibaH6717? And he saidH559[H8799], Thy servant is heH5650.
[3]And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799], Is there notH657 yet anyH376 of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586, that I may shewH6213[H8799] the kindnessH2617 of GodH430 unto him? And ZibaH6717 saidH559[H8799] unto the kingH4428, JonathanH3083 hath yet a sonH1121, which is lameH5223 on his feetH7272.
[4]And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799] unto him, WhereH375 is he? And ZibaH6717 saidH559[H8799] unto the kingH4428, Behold, he is in the houseH1004 of MachirH4353, the sonH1121 of AmmielH5988, in LodebarH3810.
[5]Then kingH4428 DavidH1732 sentH7971[H8799], and fetchedH3947[H8799] him out of the houseH1004 of MachirH4353, the sonH1121 of AmmielH5988, from LodebarH3810.
[6]Now when MephiboshethH4648, the sonH1121 of JonathanH3083, the sonH1121 of SaulH7586, was comeH935[H8799] unto DavidH1732, he fellH5307[H8799] on his faceH6440, and did reverenceH7812[H8691]. And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799], MephiboshethH4648. And he answeredH559[H8799], Behold thy servantH5650!
[7]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] unto him, FearH3372[H8799] not: for I will surelyH6213[H8800] shewH6213[H8799] thee kindnessH2617 for JonathanH3083 thy father'sH1 sake, and will restoreH7725[H8689] thee all the landH7704 of SaulH7586 thy fatherH1; and thou shalt eatH398[H8799] breadH3899 at my tableH7979 continuallyH8548.
[8]And he bowedH7812[H8691] himself, and saidH559[H8799], What is thy servantH5650, that thou shouldest lookH6437[H8804] upon such a deadH4191[H8801] dog as I amH3611?
[9]Then the kingH4428 calledH7121[H8799] to ZibaH6717, Saul'sH7586 servantH5288, and saidH559[H8799] unto him, I have givenH5414[H8804] unto thy master'sH113 sonH1121 all that pertainedH1961[H8804] to SaulH7586 and to all his houseH1004.
[10]Thou therefore, and thy sonsH1121, and thy servantsH5650, shall tillH5647[H8804] the landH127 for him, and thou shalt bringH935[H8689] in the fruits, that thy master'sH113 sonH1121 may have foodH3899 to eatH398[H8804]: but MephiboshethH4648 thy master'sH113 sonH1121 shall eatH398[H8799] breadH3899 alwayH8548 at my tableH7979. Now ZibaH6717 had fifteenH2568[H6240] sonsH1121 and twentyH6242 servantsH5650.
[11]Then saidH559[H8799] ZibaH6717 unto the kingH4428, According to all that my lordH113 the kingH4428 hath commandedH6680[H8762] his servantH5650, so shall thy servantH5650 doH6213[H8799]. As for MephiboshethH4648, said the king, he shall eatH398[H8802] at my tableH7979, as oneH259 of the king'sH4428 sonsH1121.
[12]And MephiboshethH4648 had a youngH6996 sonH1121, whose nameH8034 was MichaH4316. And all that dweltH4186 in the houseH1004 of ZibaH6717 were servantsH5650 unto MephiboshethH4648.
[13]So MephiboshethH4648 dweltH3427[H8802] in JerusalemH3389: for he did eatH398[H8802] continuallyH8548 at the king'sH4428 tableH7979; and was lameH6455 on bothH8147 his feetH7272.
