David şi Mefiboşet
9 David a zis: „A mai rămas cineva din casa lui Saul, ca să-i fac bine(A) din pricina lui Ionatan?” 2 Era un slujitor din casa lui Saul, numit Ţiba(B), pe care l-au adus la David. Împăratul i-a zis: „Tu eşti Ţiba?” Şi el a răspuns: „Robul tău, da!” 3 Împăratul a zis: „Nu mai este nimeni din casa lui Saul, ca să mă port cu el cu o bunătate ca bunătatea(C) lui Dumnezeu?” Şi Ţiba a răspuns împăratului: „Mai este un fiu al lui Ionatan, olog(D) de picioare”. 4 Împăratul a zis: „Unde este?” Şi Ţiba a răspuns împăratului: „Este în casa lui Machir(E), fiul lui Amiel, la Lodebar”. 5 Împăratul David l-a trimis să-l ia din casa lui Machir, fiul lui Amiel, din Lodebar. 6 Şi Mefiboşet, fiul lui Ionatan, fiul lui Saul, a venit la David, a căzut cu faţa la pământ şi s-a închinat. David a zis: „Mefiboşet!” Şi el a răspuns: „Iată robul tău!” 7 David i-a zis: „Nu te teme, căci vreau să-ţi fac bine(F) din pricina tatălui tău Ionatan. Îţi voi da înapoi toate pământurile tatălui tău, Saul, şi vei mânca totdeauna la masa mea”. 8 El s-a închinat şi a zis: „Cine este robul tău, ca să te uiţi la un câine mort(G) ca mine?” 9 Împăratul a chemat pe Ţiba, slujbaşul lui Saul, şi i-a zis: „Dau fiului stăpânului tău tot ce(H) era al lui Saul şi tot ce avea toată casa lui. 10 Tu să lucrezi pământurile pentru el, tu, fiii tăi şi robii tăi, şi să strângi roadele, ca fiul stăpânului tău să aibă pâine de mâncare, şi Mefiboşet, fiul stăpânului tău, va mânca(I) totdeauna la masa mea”. Şi Ţiba avea cincisprezece fii şi douăzeci de robi. 11 El a zis împăratului: „Robul tău va face tot ce porunceşte împăratul, domnul meu, robului său”. Şi Mefiboşet a mâncat la masa lui David, ca unul din fiii împăratului. 12 Mefiboşet avea un fiu mic, numit(J) Mica, şi toţi cei ce locuiau în casa lui Ţiba erau robii lui Mefiboşet. 13 Mefiboşet locuia la Ierusalim, căci mânca(K) totdeauna la masa împăratului. El era olog(L) de amândouă picioarele.

David's Kindness to Mephibosheth
9 And David said, “Is there still anyone left of the house of Saul, that I may (A)show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?” 2 Now there was a servant of the house of Saul whose name was (B)Ziba, and they called him to David. And the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?” And he said, “I am your servant.” 3 And the king said, “Is there not still someone of the house of Saul, that I may show (C)the kindness of God to him?” Ziba said to the king, “There is still a son of (D)Jonathan; he is crippled in his feet.” 4 The king said to him, “Where is he?” And Ziba said to the king, “He is in the house of (E)Machir the son of Ammiel, at Lo-debar.” 5 Then King David sent and brought him from the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, at Lo-debar. 6 And (F)Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, son of Saul, came to David and fell on his face and paid homage. And David said, “Mephibosheth!” And he answered, “Behold, I am your servant.” 7 And David said to him, “Do not fear, (G)for I will show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan, and I will restore to you all the land of Saul your father, and (H)you shall eat at my table always.” 8 And he paid homage and said, “What is your servant, that you should show regard for (I)a dead dog such as I?”
9 Then the king called Ziba, Saul's servant, and said to him, “All that belonged to Saul and to all his house I have given to your master's grandson. 10 And you and your sons and your servants shall till the land for him and shall bring in the produce, that your master's grandson may have bread to eat. But Mephibosheth your master's grandson (J)shall always eat at my table.” Now Ziba had (K)fifteen sons and twenty servants. 11 Then Ziba said to the king, “According to all that my lord the king commands his servant, so will your servant do.” So Mephibosheth (L)ate at David's[a] table, like one of the king's sons. 12 And Mephibosheth had a young son, (M)whose name was Mica. And all who lived in Ziba's house became Mephibosheth's servants. 13 So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, for (N)he ate always at the king's table. Now (O)he was lame in both his feet.

David and Mephibosheth
9 David asked, “Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?”(A)
2 Now there was a servant of Saul’s household named Ziba.(B) They summoned him to appear before David, and the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?”
“At your service,” he replied.
3 The king asked, “Is there no one still alive from the house of Saul to whom I can show God’s kindness?”
Ziba answered the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan;(C) he is lame(D) in both feet.”
4 “Where is he?” the king asked.
Ziba answered, “He is at the house of Makir(E) son of Ammiel in Lo Debar.”
5 So King David had him brought from Lo Debar, from the house of Makir son of Ammiel.
6 When Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, he bowed down to pay him honor.(F)
David said, “Mephibosheth!”
“At your service,” he replied.
7 “Don’t be afraid,” David said to him, “for I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan.(G) I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.(H)”
8 Mephibosheth(I) bowed down and said, “What is your servant, that you should notice a dead dog(J) like me?”
9 Then the king summoned Ziba, Saul’s steward, and said to him, “I have given your master’s grandson everything that belonged to Saul and his family. 10 You and your sons and your servants are to farm the land for him and bring in the crops, so that your master’s grandson(K) may be provided for. And Mephibosheth, grandson of your master, will always eat at my table.” (Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.)
11 Then Ziba said to the king, “Your servant will do whatever my lord the king commands his servant to do.” So Mephibosheth ate at David’s[a] table like one of the king’s sons.(L)
12 Mephibosheth had a young son named Mika, and all the members of Ziba’s household were servants of Mephibosheth.(M) 13 And Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the king’s table; he was lame in both feet.
