2 Samuel 9:1-3
New International Reader's Version
David and Mephibosheth
9 David asked, “Is anyone left from the royal house of Saul? If there is, I want to be kind to him because of Jonathan.”
2 Ziba was a servant in Saul’s family. David sent for him to come and see him. The king said to him, “Are you Ziba?”
“I’m ready to serve you,” he replied.
3 The king asked, “Isn’t there anyone still alive from the royal house of Saul? God has been very kind to me. I would like to be kind to that person in the same way.”
Ziba answered the king, “A son of Jonathan is still living. Both of his feet were hurt so that he can’t walk.”
