2 Samuel 9:10

Listen to 2 Samuel 9:10
10 Cultivar-lhe-ás, pois, a terra, tu e teus filhos, e teus servos; e recolherás os frutos, para que o filho de teu senhor tenha pão para comer; mas Mefibosete, filho de teu senhor, comerá sempre � minha mesa. Ora, tinha Ziba quinze filhos e vinte servos.

2 Samuel 9:10 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 9:10

Thou therefore, thy sons, and thy servants
Which were many, and whose numbers are after given:

shall till the land for him;
manure it, plough it, sow it, and reap it:

and thou shall bring in [the fruits];
the corn, and oil, and wine, the land produces:

that thy master's son may have food to eat;
meaning either Micha, the son of Mephibosheth, since Mephibosheth seems to be distinguished from him, and opposed to him in the next clause: and who would stand in no need of food from any other quarter, being a guest at the king's table continually; or else Mephibosheth, who by this means would have a sufficiency for his son and servants, and in which Ziba's family and servants would have a share:

but Mephibosheth thy master's son shall eat always at my table;
wherefore the land was to be tilled not for him personally, but for his family, and for what uses he should think fit to put the produce of it to:

now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants:
who were enough to cultivate a considerable quantity of land.

2 Samuel 9:10 In-Context

8 Então Mefibosete lhe fez reverência, e disse: Que é o teu servo, para teres olhado para um cão morto tal como eu?
9 Então chamou Davi a Ziba, servo de Saul, e disse-lhe: Tudo o que pertencia a Saul, e a toda a sua casa, tenho dado ao filho de teu senhor.
10 Cultivar-lhe-ás, pois, a terra, tu e teus filhos, e teus servos; e recolherás os frutos, para que o filho de teu senhor tenha pão para comer; mas Mefibosete, filho de teu senhor, comerá sempre � minha mesa. Ora, tinha Ziba quinze filhos e vinte servos.
11 Respondeu Ziba ao rei: Conforme tudo quanto meu senhor, o rei, manda a seu servo, assim o fará ele. Disse o rei: Quanto a Mefibosete, ele comerá � minha mesa como um dos filhos do rei.
12 E tinha Mefibosete um filho pequeno, cujo nome era Mica. E todos quantos moravam em casa de Ziba eram servos de Mefibosete.
