- Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, came to David and fell on his face and prostrated himself. And David said, "Mephibosheth." And he said, "Here is your servant!"
- David said to him, "Do not fear, for I will surely show kindness to you for the sake of your father Jonathan, and will restore to you all the land of your grandfather Saul; and you shall eat at my table regularly."
- Again he prostrated himself and said, "What is your servant, that you should regard a dead dog like me?"
- Then the king called Saul's servant Ziba and said to him, "All that belonged to Saul and to all his house I have given to your master's grandson.
- "You and your sons and your servants shall cultivate the land for him, and you shall bring in the produce so that your master's grandson may have food; nevertheless Mephibosheth your master's grandson shall eat at my table regularly." Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

- 掃羅的孫子約拿單的兒子米非波設來見大衛、伏地叩拜.大衛說、米非波設.米非波設說、僕人在此。
- 大衛說、你不要懼怕、我必因你父親約拿單的緣故施恩與你、將你祖父掃羅的一切田地都歸還你、你也可以常與我同席喫飯。
- 米非波設又叩拜說、僕人算甚麼、不過如死狗一般、竟蒙王這樣眷顧。
- 王召了掃羅的僕人洗巴來、對他說、我已將屬掃羅和他的一切家產、都賜給你主人的兒子了。
- 你和你的眾子、僕人、要為你主人的兒子米非波設耕種田地、把所產的拿來供他食用.他卻要常與我同席喫飯。洗巴有十五個兒子、二十個僕人。
