And David saith to him, `Be not afraid; for I certainly do with thee kindness because of Jonathan thy father, and have given back to thee all the field of Saul thy father, and thou dost eat bread at my table continually.'

8 T hen he bowed himself, and said, “What is your servant, that you should look upon such a dead dog as I?”

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

10 Y ou 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 shall eat bread at my table always.” Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
