And the king saith, `Is there not yet a man to the house of Saul, and I do with him the kindness of God?' And Ziba saith unto the king, `Jonathan hath yet a son -- lame.'

4 A nd the king said, Where is he? Ziba replied, He is in the house of Machir son of Ammiel in Lo-debar.

And the king saith to him, `Where he?' and Ziba saith unto the king, `Lo, he in the house of Machir, son of Ammiel, in Lo-Debar.'

7 D avid said to him, Fear not, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your father, and you shall eat at my table always.

8 A nd bowed himself and said, What is your servant, that you should look upon such a dead dog as I am?

And he boweth himself, and saith, `What thy servant, that thou hast turned unto the dead dog -- such as I?'

9 T hen the king called to Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said to him, I have given your master’s son all that belonged to Saul and to all his house.

And the king calleth unto Ziba servant of Saul, and saith unto him, `All that was to Saul and to all his house, I have given to the son of thy lord,

10 A nd you shall till the land for him, you, your sons, and your servants, and you shall bring in the produce, that your master’s heir may have food to eat; but Mephibosheth, your master’s son, shall eat always at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

and thou hast served for him the land, thou and thy sons, and thy servants, and hast brought in, and there hath been to the son of thy lord bread, and he hath eaten it; and Mephibosheth son of thy lord doth eat continually bread at my table;' and Ziba hath fifteen sons and twenty servants.
