2 Samuel 9:10-12

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰ You, your sons and your servants will farm the land for Mephibosheth. You will harvest the crops. Then your master’s grandson will have food to eat. But Mephibosheth, your master’s grandson, will always be able to eat at my table.”

(Now Ziba had 15 sons and 20 servants.) ¹¹ Ziba said to King David, “I am your servant. I will do everything my master, the king, commands me.”

So Mephibosheth ate at David’s table as if he were one of the king’s sons. ¹² Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica. Everyone in Ziba’s family became Mephibosheth’s servants.
