4The king said to him, Where is he? Ziba said to the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, in Look-debar.
5Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Look-debar.
6Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, and fell on his face, and did obeisance. David said, Mephibosheth. He answered, Behold, your servant!
7David said to him, "Don`t be afraid of him; for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father`s sake, and will restore you all the land of Saul your father; and you shall eat bread at my table continually.
8He did obeisance, and said, What is your servant, that you should look on such a dead dog as I am?
9Then the king called to Ziba, Saul`s servant, and said to him, All that pertained to Saul and to all his house have I given to your master`s son.
10You shall till the land for him, you, and your sons, and your servants; and you shall bring in [the fruits], that your master`s son may have bread to eat: but Mephibosheth your master`s son shall eat bread always at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
