‏ 2 Samuel 9

1 And David said, Is there yet any one left in the house of Saul, that I may deal kindly withhim for Jonathan's sake? 2 And there was a servant of the house of Saul, and his name was Siba: and they call himto David; and the king said to him, Are you Siba? and he said, Iam your servant. 3 And the king said, Is there yet a man left of the house of Saul, that I may act towardshim with the mercy of God? and Siba said to the king, There is yet a son of Jonathan, lameof his feet. 4 And the king said, Whereis he? and Siba said to the king, Behold,he is in the house of Machir the son of Amiel of Lodabar. 5 And king David went, and took him out of the house of Machir the son Amiel of Lodabar. 6 And Memphibosthe the son of Jonathan the son of Saul comes to the king David, and he fellupon his face and did obeisance to him: and David said to him, Memphibosthe: and he said, Behold yourservant. 7 And David said to him, Fear not, for I will surely deal mercifully with you for the sakeof Jonathan your father, and I will restore to you all the land of Saul the father of your father; andyou shall eat bread at my table continually. 8 And Memphibosthe did obeisance, and said, Who am I your servant, that you have lookedupon a dead dog like me? 9 And the king called Siba the servant of Saul, and said to him, All that belonged to Sauland to all his house have I given to the son of your lord. 10 And you, and your sons, and your servants, shall till the land for him; and you shallbring in bread to the son of your lord, and he shall eat bread: and Memphibosthe the son of your lordshall eat bread continually at my table. Now Siba had fifteen sons and twenty servants. 11 And Siba said to the king, According to all that my lord the king has commanded his servant,so will your servant do. And Memphibosthe did eat at the table of David, as one of the sons of the king. 12 And Memphibosthe had a little son, and his namewas Micha: and all the household of Sibawere servants to Memphibosthe. 13 And Memphibosthe lived in Jerusalem, for he continually ate at the table of the king;and he was lame in both his feet.
