9 And David proceeded to say: “Is there yet anyone that is left over of the house of Saul, that I may exercise loving-kindness+ toward him for the sake of Jonʹa·than?”+

7 And David went on to say to him: “Do not be afraid, for without fail I shall exercise loving-kindness+ toward you for the sake of Jonʹa·than your father;+ and I must return to you all the field+ of Saul your grandfather,* and you yourself will eat bread at my table constantly.”+

10 And you must cultivate the ground for him, you and your sons and your servants, and you must do the gathering in, and it must serve as food* for [those belonging to] the grandson* of your master,* and they must eat; but Me·phibʹo·sheth himself, the grandson of your master, will eat bread at my table constantly.”+

Now Ziʹba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.+

13 And Me·phibʹo·sheth himself was dwelling in Jerusalem, for it was constantly at the table of the king that he was eating;+ and he was lame in both of his feet.+
