9:1 And David 1732 said 559 8799, Is there yet 3426 any that is left 3498 8738 of the house 1004 of Saul 7586, that I may shew 6213 8799 him kindness 2617 for Jonathan's 3083 sake?

9:2 And [there was] of the house 1004 of Saul 7586 a servant 5650 whose name 8034 [was] Ziba 6717. And when they had called 7121 8799 him unto David 1732, the king 4428 said 559 8799 unto him, [Art] thou Ziba 6717? And he said 559 8799, Thy servant 5650 [is he].

9:3 And the king 4428 said 559 8799, [Is] there not 657 yet any 376 of the house 1004 of Saul 7586, that I may shew 6213 8799 the kindness 2617 of God 430 unto him? And Ziba 6717 said 559 8799 unto the king 4428, Jonathan 3083 hath yet a son 1121, [which is] lame 5223 on [his] feet 7272.

9:4 And the king 4428 said 559 8799 unto him, Where 375 [is] he? And Ziba 6717 said 559 8799 unto the king 4428, Behold, he [is] in the house 1004 of Machir 4353, the son 1121 of Ammiel 5988, in Lodebar 3810.

9:5 Then king 4428 David 1732 sent 7971 8799, and fetched 3947 8799 him out of the house 1004 of Machir 4353, the son 1121 of Ammiel 5988, from Lodebar 3810.

9:6 Now when Mephibosheth 4648, the son 1121 of Jonathan 3083, the son 1121 of Saul 7586, was come 935 8799 unto David 1732, he fell 5307 8799 on his face 6440, and did reverence 7812 8691. And David 1732 said 559 8799, Mephibosheth 4648. And he answered 559 8799, Behold thy servant 5650!

9:7 And David 1732 said 559 8799 unto him, Fear 3372 8799 not: for I will surely 6213 8800 shew 6213 8799 thee kindness 2617 for Jonathan 3083 thy father's 1 sake, and will restore 7725 8689 thee all the land 7704 of Saul 7586 thy father 1; and thou shalt eat 398 8799 bread 3899 at my table 7979 continually 8548.

9:8 And he bowed 7812 8691 himself, and said 559 8799, What [is] thy servant 5650, that thou shouldest look 6437 8804 upon such a dead 4191 8801 dog 3611 as I [am]?

9:9 Then the king 4428 called 7121 8799 to Ziba 6717, Saul's 7586 servant 5288, and said 559 8799 unto him, I have given 5414 8804 unto thy master's 113 son 1121 all that pertained 1961 8804 to Saul 7586 and to all his house 1004.

9:10 Thou therefore, and thy sons 1121, and thy servants 5650, shall till 5647 8804 the land 127 for him, and thou shalt bring 935 8689 in [the fruits], that thy master's 113 son 1121 may have food 3899 to eat 398 8804: but Mephibosheth 4648 thy master's 113 son 1121 shall eat 398 8799 bread 3899 alway 8548 at my table 7979. Now Ziba 6717 had fifteen 2568 6240 sons 1121 and twenty 6242 servants 5650.

9:11 Then said 559 8799 Ziba 6717 unto the king 4428, According to all that my lord 113 the king 4428 hath commanded 6680 8762 his servant 5650, so shall thy servant 5650 do 6213 8799. As for Mephibosheth 4648, [said the king], he shall eat 398 8802 at my table 7979, as one 259 of the king's 4428 sons 1121.

9:12 And Mephibosheth 4648 had a young 6996 son 1121, whose name 8034 [was] Micha 4316. And all that dwelt 4186 in the house 1004 of Ziba 6717 [were] servants 5650 unto Mephibosheth 4648.

9:13 So Mephibosheth 4648 dwelt 3427 8802 in Jerusalem 3389: for he did eat 398 8802 continually 8548 at the king's 4428 table 7979; and was lame 6455 on both 8147 his feet 7272.
