2 Samuel 9

JUB

NIV

1 And David said, Is anyone left of the house of Saul that I may show him mercy for Jonathan’s sake?
1 David asked, “Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?”
2 And <em>there was</em> a servant of the house of Saul whose name <em>was</em> Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the king said unto him, <em>Art</em> thou Ziba? And he said, Thy slave <em>is he</em>.
2 Now there was a servant of Saul’s household named Ziba. They summoned him to appear before David, and the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?” “At your service,” he replied.
3 And the king said, <em>Is</em> there no one left of the house of Saul that I may show the mercy of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, There remains a son of Jonathan, <em>who is</em> lame on <em>his</em> feet.
3 The king asked, “Is there no one still alive from the house of Saul to whom I can show God’s kindness?” Ziba answered the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan; he is lame in both feet.”
4 And the king said unto him, Where <em>is</em> he? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he <em>is</em> in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar.
4 “Where is he?” the king asked. Ziba answered, “He is at the house of Makir son of Ammiel in Lo Debar.”
5 Then King David sent and took him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar.
5 So King David had him brought from Lo Debar, from the house of Makir son of Ammiel.
6 Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face and worshipped. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy slave!
6 When Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, he bowed down to pay him honor. David said, “Mephibosheth!” “At your service,” he replied.
7 And David said unto him, Fear not; for I will surely show thee mercy for Jonathan, thy father’s sake, and will restore <em>unto</em> thee all the land of Saul, thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.
7 “Don’t be afraid,” David said to him, “for I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.”
8 And he bowed himself and said, Who <em>is</em> thy slave, that thou should look upon such a dead dog as I <em>am</em>?
8 Mephibosheth bowed down and said, “What is your servant, that you should notice a dead dog like me?”
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.
9 Then the king summoned Ziba, Saul’s steward, and said to him, “I have given your master’s grandson everything that belonged to Saul and his family.
10 Thou, therefore, and thy sons and thy slaves shall till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in <em>the fruits</em> that thy master’s son may have bread to eat, but Mephibosheth, thy master’s son, shall eat bread always at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty slaves.
10 You and your sons and your servants are to farm the land for him and bring in the crops, so that your master’s grandson may be provided for. And Mephibosheth, grandson of your master, will always eat at my table.” (Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.)
11 Then Ziba said unto the king, According to all that my lord the king has commanded his slave, so shall thy slave do. As for Mephibosheth, <em>said the king</em>, he shall eat at my table as one of the king’s sons.
11 Then Ziba said to the king, “Your servant will do whatever my lord the king commands his servant to do.” So Mephibosheth ate at David’s table like one of the king’s sons.
12 And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name <em>was</em> Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba <em>were</em> servants unto Mephibosheth.
12 Mephibosheth had a young son named Mika, and all the members of Ziba’s household were servants of Mephibosheth.
13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem, for he ate continually at the king’s table and was lame on both his feet.
13 And Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the king’s table; he was lame in both feet.
