chapter 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?
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.
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.
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.
5 Then king David sent, and brought him out of the
house of Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodabar.
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.
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 thy father, and thou shalt eat bread at my table always.
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 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.
10 Thou therefore and thy 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.
11 And Siba said to the king: As thou my lord the king
hast commanded thy servant, so will thy servant do: and Miphiboseth shall eat
at my table, as one of the sons of the king.
12 And Miphiboseth had a young son whose name was
Micha: and all the kindred of the house of Siba served Miphiboseth.
13 But Miphiboseth dwelt in Jerusalem: because he ate
always of the king's table: and he was lame of both feet.
