2.Samuel 9 | English Standard Version

David’s Kindness to Mephibosheth

1 And David said, “Is there still anyone left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?” 2 Now there was a servant of the house of Saul whose name was Ziba, and they called him to David. And the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?” And he said, “I am your servant.” 3 And the king said, “Is there not still someone of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God to him?” Ziba said to the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan; he is crippled in his feet.” 4 The king said to him, “Where is he?” And Ziba said to the king, “He is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, at Lo-debar.” 5 Then King David sent and brought him from the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, at Lo-debar. 6 And Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, son of Saul, came to David and fell on his face and paid homage. And David said, “Mephibosheth!” And he answered, “Behold, I am your servant.” 7 And David said to him, “Do not fear, for I will show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan, and I will restore to you all the land of Saul your father, and you shall eat at my table always.” 8 And he paid homage and said, “What is your servant, that you should show regard for a dead dog such as I?” 9 Then the king called Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said to him, “All that belonged to Saul and to all his house I have given to your master’s grandson. 10 And you and your sons and your servants shall till the land for him and shall bring in the produce, that your master’s grandson may have bread to eat. But Mephibosheth your master’s grandson shall always eat at my table.” Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants. 11 Then Ziba said to the king, “According to all that my lord the king commands his servant, so will your servant do.” So Mephibosheth ate at David’s* table, like one of the king’s sons. 12 And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Mica. And all who lived in Ziba’s house became Mephibosheth’s servants. 13 So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, for he ate always at the king’s table. Now he was lame in both his feet.

大卫恩待米非波设

1 大卫问：“扫罗一家还有什么人吗？我要因为和约拿单的情义而恩待他。” 2 有人就去叫扫罗家一个名叫洗巴的仆人来见大卫，王问他：“你就是洗巴吗？”他说：“仆人正是洗巴。” 3 王说：“扫罗家中还有什么人？我要以上帝的慈爱来待他。”洗巴答道：“约拿单还有一个儿子，是双脚残废的。” 4 王说：“他在哪里？”洗巴答道：“他住在罗·底巴，在亚米利的儿子玛吉家里。” 5 于是，大卫王派人去罗·底巴把他从亚米利的儿子玛吉家里接来。 6 扫罗的孙子、约拿单的儿子米非波设来到大卫面前，向他俯伏叩拜。大卫说：“米非波设！”米非波设答道：“仆人在这里。” 7 大卫说：“你不用害怕，我要因为和你父亲约拿单的情义而恩待你。我要把你祖父扫罗所有的田地归还给你，你要常与我同席吃饭。” 8 米非波设再次叩拜，说：“仆人算什么？不过像一条死狗罢了，你竟这样眷顾我！” 9 王又把扫罗的仆人洗巴召来，对他说：“我已把扫罗全家的产业都赐给了你主人的孙子米非波设。 10 你和你的儿子及仆人要为米非波设种田，把出产拿来供养他。他还要常常与我同席吃饭。”洗巴有十五个儿子，二十个仆人。 11 洗巴对王说：“仆人必遵行我主我王的一切吩咐。”于是，米非波设像王子一样常与大卫同席吃饭。 12 米非波设有一个小儿子名叫米迦。洗巴家中的人都做了米非波设的仆人。 13 从此，双脚残废的米非波设就住在耶路撒冷，常常与王同席吃饭。
