2 Samuel 9 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

David’s Kindness to Mephibosheth

Then David^H1732 said^H559, “Is^H3426 there^H3426 [fn]anyone^H834 still^H5750 left^H3498 of the house^H1004 of Saul^H7586, so that I could show^H6213 him kindness^H2617 for Jonathan’s^H3083 sake^H5668?”

2Sa 9:2

2Sa 9:2Now there was a servant of the house of Saul whose name was Ziba, and they summoned him to David; and the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?” And he said, “I am your servant.”

2Sa 9:3

2Sa 9:3Then the king said, “Is there no one remaining of the house of Saul to whom I could show the kindness of God?” And Ziba said to the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan, one who is disabled in both feet.”

2Sa 9:4

2Sa 9:4So the king said to him, “Where is he?” And Ziba said to the king, “Behold, he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar.”

2Sa 9:5

2Sa 9:5Then King David sent [fn]messengers who brought him from the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar.

2Sa 9:6

2Sa 9:6Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, came to David and fell on his face and prostrated himself. And David said, “Mephibosheth.” And he said, “Here is your servant!”

2Sa 9:7

2Sa 9:7Then David said to him, “Do not be afraid, for I will assuredly show kindness to you for the sake of your father Jonathan, and I will restore to you all the [fn]land of your [fn]grandfather Saul; and you yourself shall [fn]eat at my table regularly.”

2Sa 9:8

2Sa 9:8Again he prostrated himself, and said, “What is your servant, that you should be concerned about a dead dog like me?”

2Sa 9:9

Then the king^H4428 summoned^H7121 Saul’s^H7586 servant^H5288 Ziba^H6717 and said^H559 to him, “Everything^H3605 that belonged^H1961 to Saul^H7586 and to all^H3605 his house^H1004 I have given^H5414 to your master’s^H113 [fn]grandson^H1121.

2Sa 9:10

2Sa 9:10“You and your sons and your servants shall cultivate the land for him, and you shall bring in the produce so that your master’s grandson will have food [fn]to eat; nevertheless Mephibosheth, your master’s grandson, shall [fn]eat at my table regularly.” Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

2Sa 9:11

2Sa 9:11Then Ziba said to the king, “In accordance with everything that my lord the king commands his servant, so your servant will do.” So Mephibosheth ate at [fn]David’s table as one of the king’s sons.

2Sa 9:12

2Sa 9:12Mephibosheth had a young son whose name was Mica. And all who lived in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.

2Sa 9:13

2Sa 9:13So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, because he ate at the king’s table regularly. And he was disabled in his two feet.
