2 Samuel 9:1-7

1 et dixit David putasne est aliquis qui remanserit de domo Saul ut faciam cum eo misericordiam propter Ionathan

2 erat autem de domo Saul servus nomine Siba quem cum vocasset rex ad se dixit ei tune es Siba et ille respondit ego sum servus tuus

3 et ait rex num superest aliquis de domo Saul ut faciam cum eo misericordiam Dei dixitque Siba regi superest filius Ionathan debilis pedibus

4 ubi inquit est et Siba ad regem ecce ait in domo est Machir filii Amihel in Lodabar

5 misit ergo rex David et tulit eum de domo Machir filii Amihel de Lodabar

6 cum autem venisset Mifiboseth filius Ionathan filii Saul ad David corruit in faciem suam et adoravit dixitque David Mifiboseth qui respondit adsum servus tuus

7 et ait ei David ne timeas quia faciens faciam in te misericordiam propter Ionathan patrem tuum et restituam tibi omnes agros Saul patris tui et tu comedes panem in mensa mea semper
