2 Samuel 9:9-11

New King James Version

⁹ And the king called to Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said to him, ^(A)“I have given to your master’s son all that belonged to Saul and to all his house. ¹⁰ You therefore, and your sons and your servants, shall work the land for him, and you shall bring in the harvest, that your master’s son may have food to eat. But Mephibosheth your master’s son ^(B)shall eat bread at my table always.” Now Ziba had ^(C)fifteen sons and twenty servants.

¹¹ Then Ziba said to the king, “According to all that my lord the king has commanded his servant, so will your servant do.”

“As for Mephibosheth,” said the king, “he shall eat at ^[a]my table like one of the king’s sons.”
