2 Samuel 9:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a [a]dead dog as I am?
9 Then the king called Ziba Saul’s servant, and said unto him, I have given unto thy master’s [b]son all that pertained to Saul and to all his house.
10 Thou therefore and [c]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.)
