2 Samuel 9:2-10

[2] And there was of the house  of Saul  a servant  whose name  was Ziba.  And when they had called  him unto David,  the king  said  unto him, Art thou Ziba?  And he said,  Thy servant  is he. [3] And the king  said,  Is there not  yet any  of the house  of Saul,  that I may shew  the kindness  of God  unto him? And Ziba  said  unto the king,  Jonathan  hath yet a son,  which is lame  on his feet.  [4] And the king  said  unto him, Where  is he? And Ziba  said  unto the king,  Behold, he is in the house  of Machir,  the son  of Ammiel,  in Lodebar.  [5] Then king  David  sent,  and fetched  him out of the house  of Machir,  the son  of Ammiel,  from Lodebar.  [6] Now when Mephibosheth,  the son  of Jonathan,  the son  of Saul,  was come  unto David,  he fell  on his face,  and did reverence.  And David  said,  Mephibosheth.  And he answered,  Behold thy servant!  [7] And David  said  unto him, Fear  not: for I will surely  thee kindness  for Jonathan  thy father's  sake, and will restore  thee all the land  of Saul  thy father;  and thou shalt eat  bread  at my table  continually.  [8] And he bowed  himself, and said,  What is thy servant,  that thou shouldest look  upon such a dead  dog  [9] Then the king  called  to Ziba,  Saul's  servant,  and said  unto him, I have given  unto thy master's  son  all that pertained  to Saul  and to all his house.  [10] Thou therefore, and thy sons,  and thy servants,  shall till  the land  for him, and thou shalt bring  in the fruits, that thy master's  son  may have food  to eat:  but Mephibosheth  thy master's  son  shall eat  bread  alway  at my table.  Now Ziba  had fifteen  sons  and twenty  servants.
