9 Och David sade: »Finnes ännu någon kvar av Sauls hus, mot vilken jag kan bevisa barmhärtighet för Jonatans skull?»
2 Nu hade Sauls hus haft en tjänare vid namn Siba; honom hämtade man till David. Då sade konungen till honom: »Är du Siba?» Han svarade: »Ja, din tjänare.»
3 Konungen frågade: »Finnes ingen kvar av Sauls hus, mot vilken jag kan bevisa barmhärtighet, såsom Gud är barmhärtig?» Siba svarade konungen: »Ännu finnes kvar en son till Jonatan, en som är ofärdig i fötterna.»
4 Konungen frågade honom »Var är han?» Siba svarade konungen: »Han är nu i Makirs, Ammiels sons, hus i Lo-Debar.»
5 Då sände konung David och lät hämta honom från Makirs, Ammiels sons, hus i Lo-Debar.
6 När så Mefiboset, Sauls son Jonatans son, kom in till David, föll han ned på sitt ansikte och bugade sig. Då sade David: »Mefiboset!» Han svarade: »Ja, din tjänare hör.»
7 David sade till honom: »Frukta icke, ty jag vill bevisa barmhärtighet mot dig för din fader Jonatans skull, och jag vill giva dig allt din faders Sauls jordagods tillbaka, och du skall äta vid mitt bord beständigt.»
8 Då bugade han sig och sade: »Vad är jag, din tjänare, eftersom du vänder dig till en sådan död hund som jag är?»
9 Därefter tillkallade konungen Siba, Sauls tjänare, och sade till honom; »Allt som Saul och hela hans hus har ägt giver jag åt din herres son.
10 Och du med dina söner och dina tjänare skall bruka jorden åt honom och inbärga skörden, för att din herres son må hava bröd att äta, dock skall Mefiboset, din herres son, beständigt äta vid mitt bord.» Siba hade nämligen femton söner och tjugu tjänare.
11 Då sade Siba till konungen: »Din tjänare skall i alla stycken göra såsom min herre konungen bjuder sin tjänare.» »Ja», svarade han, »Mefiboset skall äta vid mitt bord, såsom vore han en av konungens söner.»
12 Mefiboset hade en liten son, som hette Mika. Och alla som bodde i Sibas hus blevo Mefibosets tjänare.
13 Själv bodde Mefiboset i Jerusalem, eftersom han beständigt skulle äta vid konungens bord. Och han var halt på båda fötterna.

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 Davide disse: «E' rimasto ancora qualcuno della casa di Saul, a cui io possa usare bontà per amore di Gionathan?».
2 Ora vi era un servo della casa di Saul, chiamato Tsiba, che fu fatto venire da Davide. Il re gli disse: «Sei tu Tsiba?». Egli rispose: «Servo tuo».
3 Il re poi domandò: «Non c'è piú nessuno della casa di Saul, a cui possa usare la bontà di DIO?». Tsiba rispose al re: «C'è ancora un figlio di Gionathan, che ha i piedi storpi».
4 Il re gli disse: «Dov'è?». Tsiba rispose al re: «E in casa di Makir, figlio di Ammiel, a Lodebar».
5 Allora il re Davide lo mandò a prendere dalla casa di Makir, figlio di Ammiel, a Lodebar.
6 Cosí Mefibosceth, figlio di Gionathan, figlio di Saul venne da Davide, si gettò con la faccia a terra e si prostrò Davide disse: «Mefibosceth!». Egli rispose: «Ecco il tuo servo!».
7 Davide gli disse: «Non temere, perché intendo usarti bontà per amore di Gionathan tuo padre; ti restituirò tutte le terre di Saul tuo antenato e tu mangerai sempre alla mia mensa»
8 Mefibosceth si prostrò e disse: «Che cos'è il tuo servo, perché tu tenga conto di un cane morto come me?».
9 Allora il re chiamò Tsiba, servo di Saul, e gli disse: «Tutto ciò che apparteneva a Saul e a tutta la sua casa, io do al figlio del tuo signore.
10 Tu dunque, assieme ai tuoi figli e ai tuoi servi, lavorerai per lui la terra e ne raccoglierai i prodotti, affinché il figlio del tuo signore abbia pane da mangiare ma Mefibosceth, figlio del tuo signore, mangerà sempre alla mia mensa». Or Tsiba aveva quindici figli e venti servi.
11 Tsiba disse al re: «Il tuo servo farà tutto ciò che il re mio signore comanda al suo servo». Cosí Mefibosceth mangiava alla mensa di Davide come uno dei figli del re.
12 Or Mefibosceth aveva un figlioletto di nome Mika; e tutti quelli che stavano In casa di Tsiba erano servi di Mefibosceth.
13 Mefibosceth risiedeva a Gerusalemme perché mangiava sempre alla mensa del re. Era storpio di ambedue i piedi.

David’s Kindness to Mephibosheth
9 Now David said, “Is there still anyone who is left of the house of Saul, that I may (A)show him [a]kindness for Jonathan’s sake?”
2 And there was a servant of the house of Saul whose name was (B)Ziba. So when they had called him to David, the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?”
He said, “At your service!”
3 Then the king said, “Is there not still someone of the house of Saul, to whom I may show (C)the kindness of God?”
And Ziba said to the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan who is (D)lame in his feet.”
4 So the king said to him, “Where is he?”
And Ziba said to the king, “Indeed he is in the house of (E)Machir the son of Ammiel, in Lo Debar.”
5 Then King David sent and brought him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo Debar.
6 Now when (F)Mephibosheth[b] the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, had come to David, he fell on his face and prostrated himself. Then David said, “Mephibosheth?”
And he answered, “Here is your servant!”
7 So David said to him, “Do not fear, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather; and you shall eat bread at my table continually.”
8 Then he bowed himself, and said, “What is your servant, that you should look upon such (G)a dead dog as I?”
9 And the king called to Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said to him, (H)“I have given to your master’s son all that belonged to Saul and to all his house. 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 (I)shall eat bread at my table always.” Now Ziba had (J)fifteen sons and twenty servants.
11 Then Ziba said to the king, “According to all that my lord the king has commanded his servant, so will your servant do.”
“As for Mephibosheth,” said the king, “he shall eat at [c]my table like one of the king’s sons.” 12 Mephibosheth had a young son (K)whose name was Micha. And all who dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants of Mephibosheth. 13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem, (L)for he ate continually at the king’s table. And he (M)was lame in both his feet.
