2 Samuel 9:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 Then the king called Ziba Saul’s servant, and said unto him, I have given unto thy master’s [a]son all that pertained to Saul and to all his house.
10 Thou therefore and [b]thy sons and thy servants shall till the land for him, and bring in that thy master’s son may have food to eat. And Mephibosheth thy master’s son shall eat bread always at my table (now Ziba had fifteen sons, and twenty servants.)
11 Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do, [c]that Mephibosheth may eat at my table, as one of the king’s sons.
