9:1

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Is there yet
<03426>

any that is left
<03498> (8738)

of the house
<01004>

of Saul
<07586>_,

that I may shew
<06213> (8799)

him kindness
<02617>

for Jonathan's
<03083>

sake?

9:2

And [there was] of the house
<01004>

of Saul
<07586>

a servant
<05650>

whose name
<08034>

[was] Ziba
<06717>_.

And when they had called
<07121> (8799)

him unto David
<01732>_,

the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, [Art] thou Ziba
<06717>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thy servant
<05650>

[is he].

9:3

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is] there not
<0657>

yet any
<0376>

of the house
<01004>

of Saul
<07586>_,

that I may shew
<06213> (8799)

the kindness
<02617>

of God
<0430>

unto him? And Ziba
<06717>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

Jonathan
<03083>

hath yet a son
<01121>_,

[which is] lame
<05223>

on [his] feet
<07272>_.

9:4

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Where
<0375>

[is] he? And Ziba
<06717>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

Behold, he [is] in the house
<01004>

of Machir
<04353>_,

the son
<01121>

of Ammiel
<05988>_,

in Lodebar
<03810>_.

9:5

Then king
<04428>

David
<01732>

sent
<07971> (8799)_,

and fetched
<03947> (8799)

him out of the house
<01004>

of Machir
<04353>_,

the son
<01121>

of Ammiel
<05988>_,

from Lodebar
<03810>_.

9:6

Now when Mephibosheth
<04648>_,

the son
<01121>

of Jonathan
<03083>_,

the son
<01121>

of Saul
<07586>_,

was come
<0935> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

he fell
<05307> (8799)

on his face
<06440>_,

and did reverence
<07812> (8691)_.

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Mephibosheth
<04648>_.

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold thy servant
<05650>_!

{Mephibosheth: also called Meribbaal}

9:7

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Fear
<03372> (8799)

not: for I will surely
<06213> (8800)

shew
<06213> (8799)

thee kindness
<02617>

for Jonathan
<03083>

thy father's
<01>

sake, and will restore
<07725> (8689)

thee all the land
<07704>

of Saul
<07586>

thy father
<01>_;

and thou shalt eat
<0398> (8799)

bread
<03899>

at my table
<07979>

continually
<08548>_.

9:8

And he bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

What [is] thy servant
<05650>_,

that thou shouldest look
<06437> (8804)

upon such a dead
<04191> (8801)

dog
<03611>

as I [am]?

9:9

Then the king
<04428>

called
<07121> (8799)

to Ziba
<06717>_,

Saul's
<07586>

servant
<05288>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, I have given
<05414> (8804)

unto thy master's
<0113>

son
<01121>

all that pertained
<01961> (8804)

to Saul
<07586>

and to all his house
<01004>_.

9:10

Thou therefore, and thy sons
<01121>_,

and thy servants
<05650>_,

shall till
<05647> (8804)

the land
<0127>

for him, and thou shalt bring
<0935> (8689)

in [the fruits], that thy master's
<0113>

son
<01121>

may have food
<03899>

to eat
<0398> (8804)_:

but Mephibosheth
<04648>

thy master's
<0113>

son
<01121>

shall eat
<0398> (8799)

bread
<03899>

alway
<08548>

at my table
<07979>_.

Now Ziba
<06717>

had fifteen
<02568> <06240>

sons
<01121>

and twenty
<06242>

servants
<05650>_.

9:11

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Ziba
<06717>

unto the king
<04428>_,

According to all that my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

hath commanded
<06680> (8762)

his servant
<05650>_,

so shall thy servant
<05650>

do
<06213> (8799)_.

As for Mephibosheth
<04648>_,

[said the king], he shall eat
<0398> (8802)

at my table
<07979>_,

as one
<0259>

of the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>_.

9:12

And Mephibosheth
<04648>

had a young
<06996>

son
<01121>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Micha
<04316>_.

And all that dwelt
<04186>

in the house
<01004>

of Ziba
<06717>

[were] servants
<05650>

unto Mephibosheth
<04648>_.
