And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan’s sake? 1Sa 20:42Mrk 9:41Mat 25:401Pe 3:82Sa 1:261Ki 2:7Mat 10:42Jhn 19:26-27 And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the king said unto him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he. 2Sa 16:1-42Sa 19:172Sa 19:27-29Gen 15:2-3Gen 24:2Gen 39:6 And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet. 2Sa 4:4Tit 3:3-41Sa 20:14-17Deu 10:15Luk 6:36Mat 5:44-452Sa 19:26Deu 4:37 And the king said unto him, Where is he? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar. 2Sa 17:27-29
¶ Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar. Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant! 1 1Ch 9:402Sa 16:42Sa 19:24-301Ch 8:341Sa 25:231Sa 20:41Gen 18:2Gen 33:3
¶ And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father’s sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually. 2Sa 9:11Ki 2:72Sa 19:282Sa 9:3Luk 1:29-30Luk 22:30Rut 2:11-122Ki 25:29 And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am? 2Sa 16:9Mat 15:26-271Sa 24:14-151Sa 26:202Sa 3:8
¶ 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. 2Sa 16:42Sa 19:291Sa 9:1Isa 32:8 Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master’s son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master’s son shall eat bread alway at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants. 2Sa 9:72Sa 19:282Ki 25:292Sa 9:11-13Luk 14:15 Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king’s sons. 2Sa 16:1-42Sa 19:262Sa 19:17 And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth. 1Ch 8:34-401Ch 8:81Ch 9:40-44Mic 7:5-6 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king’s table; and was lame on both his feet. 2Sa 9:72Sa 9:10-112Sa 9:3
