1 And David was past a little from the top, and behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth to meet him, and a couple of donkeys were saddled, and on them two hundred loaves of bread, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and a hundred summer fruits, and a skin of wine. 2 And the king said to Ziba, “What are these to you?” And Ziba said, “The donkeys are for the house of the king to ride on, and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine is for those who are faint to drink in the wilderness.” 3 And the king said, “And where is the son of your master?” And Ziba said to the king, “Behold, he is staying in Jerusalem, for he said, ‘Today the house of Israel will restore to me the kingdom of my father.’” 4 And the king said to Ziba, “Behold, unto you is all that is unto Mephibosheth.” And Ziba said, “I humbly bow before you that I may find favor in your eyes, my lord the king.” 5 And King David came to Bahurim, and behold, a man from there was going out from the family of the house of Saul, and his name was Shimei son of Gera. And he came out, coming out cursing continuously. 6 And he stoned David with stones, and all the servants of King David. And all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left. 2 Samuel 16:1-6, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
