² And there was a servant of the house of Saul whose name was ^(A)Ziba. So when they had called him to David, the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?”

He said, “At your service!”

¹⁰ You therefore, and your sons and your servants, shall work the land for him, and you shall bring in the harvest, that your master’s son may have food to eat. But Mephibosheth your master’s son ^(A)shall eat bread at my table always.” Now Ziba had ^(B)fifteen sons and twenty servants.

Mephibosheth’s Servant

16 When^(A) David was a little past the top of the mountain, there was ^(B)Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth, who met him with a couple of saddled donkeys, and on them two hundred loaves of bread, one hundred clusters of raisins, one hundred summer fruits, and a skin of wine.

² And the king said to Ziba, “What do you mean to do with these?”

So Ziba said, “The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on, the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine for ^(A)those who are faint in the wilderness to drink.”
