Now there was a servanth5650 of the househ1004 of Saulh7586 whose nameh8034 was Zibah6717, and they calledh7121 him to Davidh1732; and the kingh4428 saidh559 to him, "Are you  aZibah6717?" And he saidh559, "I am your servanth5650."

4

So the kingh4428 saidh559 to him, "Whereh375 is he?" And Zibah6717 saidh559 to the kingh4428, "Beholdh2009, he is  ain the househ1004 of Machirh4353 the sonh1121 of Ammielh5988 in Lo-debarh3810."

Then Kingh4428 Davidh1732 senth7971 and broughth3947 him from the househ1004 of Machirh4353 the sonh1121 of Ammielh5988, from Lo-debarh3810.

 aMephiboshethh4648, the sonh1121 of Jonathanh3083 the sonh1121 of Saulh7586, cameh935 to Davidh1732 and  bfellh5307 on his faceh6440 and prostratedh7812 himself. And Davidh1732 saidh559, "Mephiboshethh4648." And he saidh559, "Hereh2009 is your servanth5650!"

7

Davidh1732 saidh559 to him, "Do not fearh3372a, for  aI will surelyh6213a showh6213a kindnessh2617a to you for the sakeh5668 of your fatherh1 Jonathanh3083, and  bwill restoreh7725 to you allh3605 the  1landh7704 of your  2grandfatherh1 Saulh7586; and  cyou shall  3eath398 at my tableh7979 regularlyh8548."

9

Then the kingh4428 calledh7121 Saul'sh7586 servanth5288 Zibah6717 and saidh559 to him, " aAllh3605 that belongedh1961 to Saulh7586 and to allh3605 his househ1004 I have givenh5414 to your master'sh113  1grandsonh1121.

10

"You and your sonsh1121 and your servantsh5650 shall cultivateh5647 the landh127 for him, and you shall bringh935 in the produce so that your master'sh113 grandsonh1121 may haveh1961 foodh3899; nevertheless  aMephiboshethh4648 your master'sh113 grandsonh1121  bshall  1eath398 at my tableh7979 regularlyh8548." Now Zibah6717 had fifteenh2568h6240 sonsh1121 and twentyh6242 servantsh5650.

Then Zibah6717 saidh559 to the kingh4428, "According  ato allh3605 that my lordh113 the kingh4428 commandsh6680 his servanth5650 soh3651 your servanth5650 will doh6213a." So Mephiboshethh4648 ateh398 at  1David's tableh7979 as oneh259 of the king'sh4428 sonsh1121.

Mephiboshethh4648 had a youngh6996a sonh1121 whose nameh8034 was Micah4316. And allh3605 who livedh4186 in the househ1004 of Zibah6717 were servantsh5650 to Mephiboshethh4648.
