1 Now when David was a little past the top, look, Ziba the servant of Mippibaal met him with a couple of donkeys saddled, and on them two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred bunches of raisins, a hundred of summer fruits, and a container of wine. 2 And the king said to Ziba, |Why did you bring these things?| And Ziba replied, “The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on, and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine is for those who get exhausted in the desert.| 3 Then the king said, |Where is your master’s son?| Ziba said to the king, |Look, he is staying in Jerusalem, for he said, ‘Today the children of Israel will restore to me the kingdom of my father.’| 4 Then the king said to Ziba, |Look, all that pertains to Mippibaal is yours.| And Ziba replied, |I humbly bow. May I find favor in the sight of my lord the king.| 2 Samuel 16:1-4, New Heart English Bible. Public domain.
