2 Samuel 16:2-4

The Voice

David (to Ziba, seeing that Mephibosheth wasn’t with him): ² Why have you brought these things?

Ziba: The donkeys are for members of the king’s family to ride. The bread and summer fruit are for your young men, and the wine is for those who grow weak in the wilderness.

David: ³ Where is your master’s descendant?

Ziba: He is still in Jerusalem. He says, “Now the people of Israel will give me back my grandfather’s kingdom.”

David: ⁴ Then all that belonged to Mephibosheth is yours now.

Ziba (bowing): I am your servant. May my lord and king look kindly on me.
