2 Samuel 9:3 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 One day David asked, "Is anyone in Saul's family still alive-- anyone to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan's sake?"
2 He summoned a man named Ziba, who had been one of Saul's servants. "Are you Ziba?" the king asked."Yes sir, I am," Ziba replied.
3 The king then asked him, "Is anyone still alive from Saul's family? If so, I want to show God's kindness to them." Ziba replied, "Yes, one of Jonathan's sons is still alive. He is crippled in both feet."
4 "Where is he?" the king asked."In Lo-debar," Ziba told him, "at the home of Makir son of Ammiel."
5 So David sent for him and brought him from Makir's home.
6 His name was Mephibosheth; he was Jonathan's son and Saul's grandson. When he came to David, he bowed low to the ground in deep respect. David said, "Greetings, Mephibosheth." Mephibosheth replied, "I am your servant."
7 "Don't be afraid!" David said. "I intend to show kindness to you because of my promise to your father, Jonathan. I will give you all the property that once belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will eat here with me at the king's table!"
8 Mephibosheth bowed respectfully and exclaimed, "Who is your servant, that you should show such kindness to a dead dog like me?"
9 Then the king summoned Saul's servant Ziba and said, "I have given your master's grandson everything that belonged to Saul and his family.
10 You and your sons and servants are to farm the land for him to produce food for your master's household. But Mephibosheth, your master's grandson, will eat here at my table." (Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.)Ziba replied,
11 "Yes, my lord the king; I am your servant, and I will do all that you have commanded." And from that time on, Mephibosheth ate regularly at David's table, like one of the king's own sons.
12 Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica. From then on, all the members of Ziba's household were Mephibosheth's servants.
13 And Mephibosheth, who was crippled in both feet, lived in Jerusalem and ate regularly at the king's table.
1 And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS , Is there H3426 ADV yet H5750 ADV any H834 RPRO that is left H3498 of the house H1004 of Saul H7586 , that I may show H6213 him kindness H2617 NMS for Jonathan H3129 \'s sake H5668 B-NMS ?
2 And there was of the house H1004 of Saul H7586 a servant H5650 NMS whose name H8034 was Ziba H6717 . And when they had called H7121 W-VQY3MP him unto H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Art thou H859 Ziba H6717 ? And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Thy servant H5650 is he .
3 And the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS , Is there not H657 yet H5750 ADV any H376 NMS of the house H1004 of Saul H7586 , that I may show H6213 the kindness H2617 NMS of God H430 EDP unto H5973 PREP-3MS him ? And Ziba H6717 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS , Jonathan H3083 hath yet H5750 ADV a son H1121 NMS , which is lame H5223 on his feet H7272 .
4 And the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , Where H375 IGAT is he H1931 PPRO-3MS ? And Ziba H6717 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS , Behold H2009 IJEC , he H1931 PPRO-3MS is in the house H1004 CMS of Machir H4353 , the son H1121 of Ammiel H5988 , in Lo H3810 - debar .
5 Then king H4428 D-NMS David H1732 MMS sent H7971 W-VQY3MS , and fetched H3947 him out of the house H1004 of Machir H4353 , the son H1121 of Ammiel H5988 , from Lo H3810 - debar .
6 Now when Mephibosheth H4648 , the son H1121 of Jonathan H3083 , the son H1121 of Saul H7586 , was come H935 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , he fell H5307 W-VQY3MS on H5921 PREP his face H6440 CMP-3MS , and did reverence H7812 . And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS , Mephibosheth H4648 . And he answered H559 W-VQY3MS , Behold H2009 IJEC thy servant H5650 !
7 And David H1732 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , Fear H3372 not H408 NPAR : for H3588 CONJ I will surely show H6213 thee kindness H2617 NMS for Jonathan H3083 thy father H1 NMS \'s sake H5668 , and will restore H7725 thee all H3605 NMS the land H7704 CMS of Saul H7586 thy father H1 NMS ; and thou H859 W-PPRO-2MS shalt eat H398 VQY2MS bread H3899 NMS at H5921 PREP my table H7979 continually H8548 .
8 And he bowed himself H7812 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , What H4100 IPRO is thy servant H5650 , that H3588 CONJ thou shouldest look H6437 upon H413 PREP such H834 RPRO a dead H4191 dog H3611 as I H3644 am ?
9 Then the king H4428 D-NMS called H7121 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Ziba H6717 , Saul H7586 \'s servant H5288 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , I have given H5414 VQQ1MS unto thy master H113 \'s son H1121 all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO pertained H1961 VQQ3MS to Saul H7586 and to all H3605 NMS his house H1004 NMS-3MS .
10 Thou H859 PPRO-2MS therefore , and thy sons H1121 W-CMP-2MS , and thy servants H5650 , shall till H5647 W-VQQ2MS the land H127 D-NFS for him , and thou shalt bring H935 in the fruits , that thy master H113 \'s son H1121 may have H1961 W-VQQ3MS food H3899 to eat H398 : but Mephibosheth H4648 thy master H113 \'s son H1121 NMP shall eat H398 VQY3MS bread H3899 NMS always H8548 at H5921 PREP my table H7979 . Now Ziba H6717 had fifteen H2568 sons H1121 W-CMP-2MS and twenty H6242 W-MMP servants H5650 .
11 Then said H559 W-VQY3MS Ziba H6717 unto H413 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS , According to all H3605 K-NMS that H834 RPRO my lord H113 the king H4428 D-NMS hath commanded H6680 his servant H5650 , so H3651 ADV shall thy servant H5650 do H6213 VQY3MS . As for Mephibosheth H4648 , said the king , he shall eat H398 at H5921 PREP my table H7979 , as one H259 K-NMS of the king\'s sons H1121 .
12 And Mephibosheth H4648 had a young H6996 son H1121 NMS , whose name H8034 was Micha H4316 . And all H3605 W-CMS that dwelt H4186 in the house H1004 CMS of Ziba H6717 were servants H5650 NMP unto Mephibosheth H4648 .
13 So Mephibosheth H4648 dwelt H3427 VQPMS in Jerusalem H3389 : for H3588 CONJ he H1931 PPRO-3MS did eat H398 continually H8548 at H5921 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS \'s table H7979 ; and was lame H6455 on both H8147 ONUM his feet H7272 .
