1. Then David asked, "Is anyone still left from the family of Saul, so that I may extend kindness to him for the sake of Jonathan?"
|
1. And David H1732 said H559 , Is there H3426 yet H5750 any H834 that is left H3498 of the house H1004 of Saul H7586 , that I may show H6213 H5973 him kindness H2617 for Jonathan H3129 's sake H5668 ?
|
|
2. Now there was a servant from Saul's house named Ziba, so he was summoned to David. The king asked him, "Are you Ziba?" He replied, "At your service."
|
2. And there was of the house H1004 of Saul H7586 a servant H5650 whose name H8034 was Ziba H6717 . And when they had called H7121 him unto H413 David H1732 , the king H4428 said H559 unto H413 him, Art thou H859 Ziba H6717 ? And he said H559 , Thy servant H5650 is he .
|
|
3. The king asked, "Is there not someone left from Saul's family, that I may extend God's kindness to him?" Ziba said to the king, "One of Jonathan's sons is left; both of his feet are crippled."
|
3. And the king H4428 said H559 , Is there not H657 yet H5750 any H376 of the house H1004 of Saul H7586 , that I may show H6213 the kindness H2617 of God H430 unto H5973 him? And Ziba H6717 said H559 unto H413 the king H4428 , Jonathan H3083 hath yet H5750 a son H1121 , which is lame H5223 on his feet H7272 .
|
|
4. The king asked him, "Where is he?" Ziba told the king, "He is at the house of Makir son of Ammiel in Lo Debar.
|
4. And the king H4428 said H559 unto him, Where H375 is he H1931 ? And Ziba H6717 said H559 unto H413 the king H4428 , Behold H2009 , he H1931 is in the house H1004 of Machir H4353 , the son H1121 of Ammiel H5988 , in Lo H3810 -debar.
|
|
5. So King David had him brought from the house of Makir son of Ammiel in Lo Debar.
|
5. Then king H4428 David H1732 sent H7971 , and fetched H3947 him out of the house H4480 H1004 of Machir H4353 , the son H1121 of Ammiel H5988 , from Lo H4480 H3810 -debar.
|
|
6. When Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, he bowed low with his face toward the ground. David said, "Mephibosheth?" He replied, "Yes, at your service."
|
6. Now when Mephibosheth H4648 , the son H1121 of Jonathan H3083 , the son H1121 of Saul H7586 , was come H935 unto H413 David H1732 , he fell H5307 on H5921 his face H6440 , and did reverence H7812 . And David H1732 said H559 , Mephibosheth H4648 . And he answered H559 , Behold H2009 thy servant H5650 !
|
|
7. David said to him, "Don't be afraid, because I will certainly extend kindness to you for the sake of Jonathan your father. You will be a regular guest at my table."
|
7. And David H1732 said H559 unto him, Fear H3372 not H408 : for H3588 I will surely show H6213 H6213 H5973 thee kindness H2617 for Jonathan H3083 thy father H1 's sake H5668 , and will restore H7725 thee H853 all H3605 the land H7704 of Saul H7586 thy father H1 ; and thou H859 shalt eat H398 bread H3899 at H5921 my table H7979 continually H8548 .
|
|
8. Then Mephibosheth bowed and said, "Of what importance am I, your servant, that you show regard for a dead dog like me?"
|
8. And he bowed himself H7812 , and said H559 , What H4100 is thy servant H5650 , that H3588 thou shouldest look H6437 upon H413 such H834 a dead H4191 dog H3611 as I H3644 am ?
|
|
9. Then the king summoned Ziba, Saul's attendant, and said to him, "Everything that belonged to Saul and to his entire house I hereby give to your master's grandson.
|
9. Then the king H4428 called H7121 to H413 Ziba H6717 , Saul H7586 's servant H5288 , and said H559 unto H413 him , I have given H5414 unto thy master H113 's son H1121 all H3605 that H834 pertained H1961 to Saul H7586 and to all H3605 his house H1004 .
|
|
10. You will cultivate the land for him� you and your sons and your servants. You will bring its produce and it will be food for your master's grandson to eat. But Mephibosheth, your master's grandson, will be a regular guest at my table." (Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.)
|
10. Thou H859 therefore , and thy sons H1121 , and thy servants H5650 , shall till H5647 H853 the land H127 for him , and thou shalt bring H935 in the fruits , that thy master H113 's son H1121 may have H1961 food H3899 to eat H398 : but Mephibosheth H4648 thy master H113 's son H1121 shall eat H398 bread H3899 always H8548 at H5921 my table H7979 . Now Ziba H6717 had fifteen H2568 H6240 sons H1121 and twenty H6242 servants H5650 .
|
|
11. Ziba said to the king, "Your servant will do everything that my lord the king has instructed his servant to do." So Mephibosheth was a regular guest at David's table, just as though he were one of the king's sons.
|
11. Then said H559 Ziba H6717 unto H413 the king H4428 , According to all H3605 that H834 my lord H113 the king H4428 hath commanded H6680 H853 his servant H5650 , so H3651 shall thy servant H5650 do H6213 . As for Mephibosheth H4648 , said the king , he shall eat H398 at H5921 my table H7979 , as one H259 of the king's sons H4480 H1121 H4428 .
|
|
12. Now Mephibosheth had a young son whose name was Mica. All the members of Ziba's household were Mephibosheth's servants.
|
12. And Mephibosheth H4648 had a young H6996 son H1121 , whose name H8034 was Micha H4316 . And all H3605 that dwelt H4186 in the house H1004 of Ziba H6717 were servants H5650 unto Mephibosheth H4648 .
|
|
13. Mephibosheth was living in Jerusalem, for he was a regular guest at the king's table. But both his feet were crippled.
|
13. So Mephibosheth H4648 dwelt H3427 in Jerusalem H3389 : for H3588 he H1931 did eat H398 continually H8548 at H5921 the king H4428 's table H7979 ; and was lame H6455 on both H8147 his feet H7272 .
