  mountains; besides which, this kindness was according to the
  covenant of God made between him and Jonathan.

VERSE 10 
 - shall eat bread.
  The eating at courts was of two kinds; the one public and
  ceremonious, the other private.  Sir John Chardin understands
  those passages which speak of a right to eat at the royal
  table, as pointing out a right to a seat there, when the
  repast was public and solemn.  So in a MS. Note on 1 Ki 7 2:7,
  he tells us that it was to be understood of the {majilis,}
  (the term for an assembly of lords, or a public feast,) and
  not of the daily and ordinary repast.  Hence, though
  Mephibosheth was to eat at all public times at the king's
  table, yet he would want the produce of his lands for food at
  other times, which it was necessary for Ziba to understand.
