2 Samuel 9:7-13

2 Samuel 9:7-13

[7] And David  said  unto him, Fear  not: for I will surely  thee kindness  for Jonathan  thy father's  sake, and will restore  thee all the land  of Saul  thy father;  and thou shalt eat  bread  at my table  continually.  [8] And he bowed  himself, and said,  What is thy servant,  that thou shouldest look  upon such a dead  dog  [9] Then the king  called  to Ziba,  Saul's  servant,  and said  unto him, I have given  unto thy master's  son  all that pertained  to Saul  and to all his house.  [10] Thou therefore, and thy sons,  and thy servants,  shall till  the land  for him, and thou shalt bring  in the fruits, that thy master's  son  may have food  to eat:  but Mephibosheth  thy master's  son  shall eat  bread  alway  at my table.  Now Ziba  had fifteen  sons  and twenty  servants.  [11] Then said  Ziba  unto the king,  According to all that my lord  the king  hath commanded  his servant,  do.  As for Mephibosheth,  said the king, he shall eat  at my table,  as one  of the king's  sons.  [12] And Mephibosheth  had a young  son,  whose name  was Micha.  And all that dwelt  in the house  of Ziba  were servants  unto Mephibosheth.  [13] So Mephibosheth  dwelt  in Jerusalem:  for he did eat  continually  at the king's  table;  and was lame  on both  his feet.
