New International Version
David and Mephibosheth
9 David asked, “Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?”(A)
2 Now there was a servant of Saul’s household named Ziba.(B) They summoned him to appear before David, and the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?”
“At your service,” he replied.
3 The king asked, “Is there no one still alive from the house of Saul to whom I can show God’s kindness?”
Ziba answered the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan;(C) he is lame(D) in both feet.”
4 “Where is he?” the king asked.
Ziba answered, “He is at the house of Makir(E) son of Ammiel in Lo Debar.”
5 So King David had him brought from Lo Debar, from the house of Makir son of Ammiel.
6 When Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, he bowed down to pay him honor.(F)
David said, “Mephibosheth!”
“At your service,” he replied.
7 “Don’t be afraid,” David said to him, “for I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan.(G) I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.(H)”
8 Mephibosheth(I) bowed down and said, “What is your servant, that you should notice a dead dog(J) like me?”
9 Then the king summoned Ziba, Saul’s steward, and said to him, “I have given your master’s grandson everything that belonged to Saul and his family. 10 You and your sons and your servants are to farm the land for him and bring in the crops, so that your master’s grandson(K) may be provided for. And Mephibosheth, grandson of your master, will always eat at my table.” (Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.)
11 Then Ziba said to the king, “Your servant will do whatever my lord the king commands his servant to do.” So Mephibosheth ate at David’s[a] table like one of the king’s sons.(L)
12 Mephibosheth had a young son named Mika, and all the members of Ziba’s household were servants of Mephibosheth.(M) 13 And Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the king’s table; he was lame in both feet.

9 At sinabi ni David, May nalalabi pa ba sa sangbahayan ni Saul, upang aking mapagpakitaan ng kagandahang loob dahil kay Jonathan?
2 At may isang lingkod sa sangbahayan ni Saul na nagngangalang Siba, at kanilang tinawag siya sa harap ni David; at sinabi ng hari sa kaniya, Ikaw ba'y si Siba? At kaniyang sinabi, Ang iyong lingkod nga.
3 At sinabi ng hari, wala na ba kayang natitira sa sangbahayan ni Saul, upang aking mapagpakitaan siya ng kagandahang loob ng Dios? At sinabi ni Siba sa hari, Si Jonathan ay may isang anak pa, na pilay ang kaniyang mga paa.
4 At sinabi ng hari sa kaniya, Saan nandoon siya? At sinabi ni Siba sa hari, Narito, siya'y nasa bahay ni Machir na anak ni Amiel, sa Lo-debar.
5 Nang magkagayo'y nagsugo ang haring si David at ipinakuha siya sa bahay ni Machir na anak ni Amiel mula sa Lo-debar.
6 At si Mephiboseth, na anak ni Jonathan, na anak ni Saul, ay naparoon kay David, at nagpatirapa sa kaniyang harap, at nagbigay galang. At sinabi ni David, Mephiboseth. At siya'y sumagot: Narito, ang iyong lingkod!
7 At sinabi ni David sa kaniya, Huwag kang matakot: sapagka't aking tunay na pagpapakitaan ka ng kagandahang loob dahil kay Jonathan na iyong ama, at aking isasauli ang buong lupa ni Saul na iyong ama, sa iyo; at ikaw ay parating kakain ng pagkain sa aking dulang.
8 At siya'y nagbigay galang at nagsabi, Ano ang iyong lingkod upang iyong lingapin akong isang asong patay?
9 Nang magkagayo'y tinawag ng hari si Siba na lingkod ni Saul, at sinabi sa kaniya, Lahat ng nauukol kay Saul at sa buong kaniyang sangbahayan ay aking ibinigay sa anak ng iyong panginoon.
10 At iyong bubukirin ang lupain para sa kaniya, ninyo ng iyong mga anak, at ng iyong mga bataan at iyong dadalhin dito ang mga bunga, upang ang anak ng iyong panginoon ay magkaroon ng tinapay na makakain: nguni't si Mephiboseth na anak ng iyong panginoon ay kakain ng tinapay kailan man sa aking dulang. Si Siba nga ay may labing limang anak at dalawang pung bataan.
11 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Siba sa hari, Ayon sa lahat na iniutos ng aking panginoon na hari sa kaniyang lingkod, ay gayon gagawin ng iyong lingkod. Tungkol kay Mephiboseth, sinabi ng hari, Siya'y kakain sa aking dulang na gaya ng isa sa mga anak ng hari.
12 At si Mephiboseth ay may isang anak na binata, na ang pangalan ay Micha. At lahat na nagsisitahan sa bahay ni Siba ay mga bataan ni Mephiboseth.
13 Gayon tumahan si Mephiboseth sa Jerusalem: sapagka't siya'y kumaing palagi sa dulang ng hari. At siya'y pilay sa kaniyang dalawang paa.

2 Samuel 9
King James Version
9 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?
2 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.
3 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.
4 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 Lodebar.
5 Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar.
6 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!
7 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.
8 And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?
9 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.
10 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.
11 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.
12 And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth.
13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king's table; and was lame on both his feet.
