Saul's family had a servant called Ziba. So they asked him to come to see David. The king said to him, ‘Are you Ziba?’

Ziba replied, ‘Yes, I am your servant.’

The king asked him, ‘Is there anyone from Saul's family who is still alive? I want to be kind to them because of God's faithful love for his people.’[a]

The king asked Ziba, ‘Where is he?’

Ziba answered, ‘He lives in the house of Ammiel's son, Makir, in Lo-Debar.’
