1 David said, |Is there yet any who is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?| 2 There was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba, and they called him to David; and the king said to him, |Are you Ziba?| He said, |Your servant is he.| 3 The king said, |Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God to him?| Ziba said to the king, |Jonathan has yet a son, who is lame of his feet.| 4 And the king said, |Where is he?| And Ziba said to the king, |Look, he is in the house of Makir the son of Ammiel, in Lo Debar.| 5 Then the king sent, and fetched him out of the house of Makir the son of Ammiel, from Lo Debar. 6 And Mippibaal, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, and he fell face down in homage. And David said, |Mippibaal?| And he answered, |Look, your servant.| 7 And David said to him, |Do not be afraid, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father's sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather. You shall eat bread at my table continually.| 2 Samuel 9:1-7, New Heart English Bible. Public domain.
