2 Samuel 9:10

Listen to 2 Samuel 9:10
10 Você, seus filhos e seus servos cultivarão a terra para ele. Você trará a colheita para que haja provisões na casa do neto de seu senhor. Mas Mefibosete comerá sempre à minha mesa”. Ziba tinha 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 Mefibosete prostrou-se e disse: “Quem é o teu servo, para que te preocupes com um cão morto como eu?”
9 Então o rei convocou Ziba e disse-lhe: “Devolvi ao neto de Saul, seu senhor, tudo o que pertencia a ele e à família dele.
10 Você, seus filhos e seus servos cultivarão a terra para ele. Você trará a colheita para que haja provisões na casa do neto de seu senhor. Mas Mefibosete comerá sempre à minha mesa”. Ziba tinha quinze filhos e vinte servos.
11 Então Ziba disse ao rei: “O teu servo fará tudo o que o rei, meu senhor, ordenou”. Assim, Mefibosete passou a comer à mesa de Davi como se fosse um dos seus filhos.
12 Mefibosete tinha um filho ainda jovem chamado Mica. E todos os que moravam na casa de Ziba tornaram-se servos de Mefibosete.
