1. One day David asked, "Is anyone in Saul's family still alive--anyone to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan's sake?"
|
||||
2. He summoned a man named Ziba, who had been one of Saul's servants. "Are you Ziba?" the king asked.
|
||||
|
||||
"Yes sir, I am," Ziba replied.

3. The king then asked him, "Is anyone still alive from Saul's family? If so, I want to show God's kindness to them."

||||
Ziba replied, "Yes, one of Jonathan's sons is still alive. He is crippled in both feet."

4. "Where is he?" the king asked.

||||
"In Lo-debar," Ziba told him, "at the home of Makir son of Ammiel."

Mephibosheth replied, "I am your servant."
