2 Samuel 9:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 9:6

Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul,
&c.] For that was his name, though sometimes called Meribbaal, ( 1 Chronicles 8:34 ) ; and this was his relation to Jonathan and Saul, the son of the one, and grandson of the other:

was come unto David;
to his court and palace in Jerusalem, being thither brought; for he could not go of himself, being lame:

he fell on his face, and did reverence;
to him as a king, in a civil way, and in the best manner he could, considering that he was lame on his feet:

and David said, Mephibosheth;
is it he? having learnt what his name was, this he expressed with great vehemency and affection, as glad that he had found one of Jonathan's posterity: and

he answered, behold thy servant!
he answered to his name, and owned his subjection to David, and was ready to take the oath of allegiance to him, and give him homage, and serve him in what way he could.

4 —¿Y dónde está?—En Lo Debar; vive en casa de Maquir hijo de Amiel.

5 Entonces el rey David mandó a buscarlo a casa de Maquir hijo de Amiel, en Lo Debar.

6 Cuando Mefiboset, que era hijo de Jonatán y nieto de Saúl, estuvo en presencia de David, se inclinó ante él rostro en tierra.—¿Tú eres Mefiboset? —le preguntó David.—A las órdenes de Su Majestad —respondió.

7 —No temas, pues en memoria de tu padre Jonatán he decidido beneficiarte. Voy a devolverte todas las tierras que pertenecían a tu abuelo Saúl, y de ahora en adelante te sentarás a mi mesa.

8 Mefiboset se inclinó y dijo:—¿Y quién es este siervo suyo, para que Su Majestad se fije en él? ¡Si no valgo más que un perro muerto!
