1And David [beloved] said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Sha’ul [desired], that I may show him kindness for Y’honatan [Yehovah has Given]'s sake? 2And [there was] of the house of Sha’ul [desired] a servant whose name [was] Tziva [statue]. And when they had called him unto David [beloved], the king said unto him, [Are] youⁱ Tziva [statue]? And he said, Your1s servant [is he]. 3And the king said, [Is] there not yet any of the house of Sha’ul [desired], that I may show the kindness of God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] unto him? And Tziva [statue] said unto the king, Y’honatan [Yehovah has Given] has yet a son, [which is] lame on [his] feet. 4And the king said unto him, Where [is] he? And Tziva [statue] said unto the king, Behold, he [is] in the house of Makhir [Sold], the son of ‘Ammi’el [my kinsman is God] [My Kinsman is God], in Lo-D’var [not a pasture]. 5Then king David [beloved] sent, and fetched him out of the house of Makhir [Sold], the son of ‘Ammi’el [my kinsman is God] [My Kinsman is God], from Lo-D’var [not a pasture]. 6Now when M’fivoshet [exterminating the idol], the son of Y’honatan [Yehovah has Given], the son of Sha’ul [desired], was come unto David [beloved], he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David [beloved] said, M’fivoshet [exterminating the idol]. And he answered, Behold youⁱ servant! 7And David [beloved] said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely show youⁱ kindness for Y’honatan [Yehovah has Given] yourⁱ father's sake, and will restore youⁱ all the land of Sha’ul [desired] yourⁱ father; and youⁱ shall eat bread at my table continually. 8And he bowed himself, and said, What [is] yourⁱ servant, that youⁱ should look upon such a dead dog as I [am]?

9Then the king called to Tziva [statue], Sha’ul’s [desired] servant, and said unto him, I have given unto yourⁱ master's son all that pertained to Sha’ul [desired] and to all his house. 10youⁱ therefore, and yourⁱ sons, and yourⁱ servants, shall till the land for him, and youⁱ shall bring in [the fruits], that yourⁱ master's son may have food to eat: but M’fivoshet [exterminating the idol] yourⁱ master's son shall eat bread always at my table. Now Tziva [statue] had fifteen sons and twenty servants. 11Then said Tziva [statue] unto the king, According to all that my lord the king has commanded his servant, so shall yourⁱ servant do. As for M’fivoshet [exterminating the idol], [said the king], he shall eat at my table, as one of the king's sons. 12And M’fivoshet [exterminating the idol] had a young son, whose name [was] Mikha [who is like God?]. And all that dwelt in the house of Tziva [statue] [were] servants unto M’fivoshet [exterminating the idol]. 13So M’fivoshet [exterminating the idol] dwelt in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]: for he did eat continually at the king's table; and was lame on both his feet.
