David's kindness to Miphiboseth for the sake of his father Jonathan.
9:1. And David said: Is there any one, think you, left of the house of
Saul, that I may shew kindness to him for Jonathan's sake?
9:2. Now there was of the house of Saul, a servant named Siba: and when
the king had called him to him, he said to him: Art thou Siba? And he
answered: I am Siba thy servant.
9:3. And the king said: Is there any one left of the house of Saul, that
I may shew the mercy of God unto Him? And Siba said to the king: There
is a son of Jonathan left, who is lame of his feet.
9:4. Where is he? said he. And Siba said to the king: Behold he is in
the house of Machir the son of Ammiel in Lodabar.
9:5. Then King David sent, and brought him out of the house of Machir
the son of Ammiel of Lodabar.
9:6. And when Miphiboseth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul was come
to David, he fell on his face and worshipped. And David said:
Miphiboseth? And he answered: Behold thy servant.
9:7. And David said to him: Fear not, for I will surely shew thee mercy
for Jonathan thy father's sake, and I will restore the lands of Saul the
father, and thou shalt eat bread at my table always.
9:8. He bowed down to him, and said: Who am I thy servant, that thou
shouldst look upon such a dead dog as I am?
9:9. Then the King called Siba the servant of Saul, and said to him: All
that belonged to Saul, and all his house, I have given to thy master's
son.
9:10. Thou therefore and the sons and thy servants shall till the land
for him: and thou shalt bring in food for thy master's son, that he may
be maintained: and Miphiboseth the son of thy master shall always eat
bread at my table. And Siba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
9:11. And Siba said to the king: As thou my lord the hast commanded thy
servant, so will thy servant do: and Miphiboseth shall eat at my table,
as one of the sons of the King.
9:12. And Miphiboseth had a young son whose name was Micha: and all that
kindred of the house of Siba served Miphiboseth.
9:13. But Miphiboseth dwelt in Jerusalem: because he ate always of the
king's table: and he was lame of both feet.
