And when they had called him unto David, the king said unto him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he.ģ 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.Ĥ 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.ĥ Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar.Ħ Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And his name was Mephibosheth.ġ And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan's sake?Ģ And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba.


He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. 2 Samuel 3: 1 Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.Ģ Samuel 4: 4 And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame of his feet.
