- Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant!
- And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.
- And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?
- Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said unto him, I have given unto thy master's son all that pertained to Saul and to all his house.
- Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master's son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master's son shall eat bread alway at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

- 扫罗的孙子,约拿单的儿子米非波设来见大卫,伏地叩拜。大卫说,米非波设。米非波设说,仆人在此。
- 大卫说,你不要惧怕,我必因你父亲约拿单的缘故施恩与你,将你祖父扫罗的一切田地都归还你。你也可以常与我同席吃饭。
- 米非波设又叩拜,说,仆人算什么,不过如死狗一般,竟蒙王这样眷顾。
- 王召了扫罗的仆人洗巴来,对他说,我已将属扫罗和他的一切家产都赐给你主人的儿子了。
- 你和你的众子,仆人要为你主人的儿子米非波设耕种田地,把所产的拿来供他食用。他却要常与我同席吃饭。洗巴有十五个儿子,二十个仆人。
