2 Samuel 9:10

Listen to 2 Samuel 9:10
10 Tú pues le labrarás las tierras, tú con tus hijos, y tus siervos, y encerrarás los frutos , para que el hijo de tu señor tenga pan qué mantenerse; y Mefi-boset el hijo de tu señor comerá pan perpetuamente a mi mesa. Y tenía Siba quince hijos y veinte siervos.

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 Y él inclinándose, dijo: ¿Quién es tu siervo, para que mires a un perro muerto como soy yo ?
9 Entonces el rey llamó a Siba, siervo de Saúl, y le dijo: Todo lo que fue de Saúl y de toda su casa, yo lo he dado al hijo de tu señor.
10 Tú pues le labrarás las tierras, tú con tus hijos, y tus siervos, y encerrarás los frutos , para que el hijo de tu señor tenga pan qué mantenerse; y Mefi-boset el hijo de tu señor comerá pan perpetuamente a mi mesa. Y tenía Siba quince hijos y veinte siervos.
11 Y respondió Siba al rey: Conforme a todo lo que ha mandado mi señor el rey a su siervo, así lo hará tu siervo. Mefi-boset, dijo el rey , comerá a mi mesa, como uno de los hijos del rey.
12 Y tenía Mefi-boset un hijo pequeño, que se llamaba Micaía. Y toda la familia de la casa de Siba eran siervos de Mefi-boset.
