* And David said , Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul Sha #uwl #, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathans sake ? * And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba . And when they had called him unto David , the king said unto him , Art thou Ziba ? And he said , Thy servant is he . * And the king said , Is there not yet any of the house of Saul Sha #uwl #, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him ? And Ziba said unto the king , Jonathan hath yet a son , which is lame on his feet . * And the king said unto him , Where is he ? And Ziba said unto the king , Behold , he is in the house of Machir , the son of Ammiel #Ammiy #el #, in Lodebar D @bar #. * Then king David sent , and fetched him out of the house of Machir , the son of Ammiel #Ammiy #el #, from Lodebar D @bar #. * Now when Mephibosheth , the son of Jonathan , the son of Saul Sha #uwl #, was come unto David , he fell on his face , and did reverence . And David said , Mephibosheth . And he answered , Behold thy servant ! * And David said unto him , Fear not : for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy fathers sake , and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father ; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually . * And he bowed himself , and said , What is thy servant , that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am ? * Then the king called to Ziba , Sauls servant na #ar #, and said unto him , I have given unto thy masters son all that pertained to Saul and to all his house . * Thou therefore , and thy sons , and thy servants , shall till the land for him , and thou shalt bring in the fruits , that thy masters son may have food to eat : but Mephibosheth thy masters son shall eat bread alway at my table . Now Ziba had fifteen chamesh # sons and twenty servants . * Then said Ziba unto the king , According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant , so shall thy servant do . As for Mephibosheth , said the king , he shall eat at my table , as one of the kings sons . * And Mephibosheth had a young son , whose name was Micha . And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth . * So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem : for he did eat continually at the kings table ; and was lame on both his feet .
