7 David said to him: “Do not be afraid, for I will certainly show loyal love+ to you for the sake of your father Jonʹa·than, and I will return to you all the land of Saul your grandfather, and you will always dine* at my table.”+

8 At that he prostrated himself and said: “What is your servant, that you have turned your attention* to a dead dog+ like me?” 9 The king now sent for Ziʹba, Saul’s attendant, and said to him: “Everything that belonged to Saul and to all his house I give to the grandson of your master.+ 10 You will cultivate the land for him—you and your sons and your servants—and you will gather its produce to provide food for those who belong to the grandson of your master to eat. But Me·phibʹo·sheth, the grandson of your master, will always dine at my table.”+

Now Ziʹba had 15 sons and 20 servants.+
