Icelandic Bible
9 Davíð sagði: "Er nú nokkur maður eftir orðinn af húsi Sáls? Honum vil ég miskunn auðsýna fyrir sakir Jónatans."
2 Af húsi Sáls var til maður, er Síba hét. Hann var kallaður á fund Davíðs. Og konungur sagði við hann: "Ert þú Síba?" Hann svaraði: "Þinn þjónn!"
3 Þá mælti konungur: "Er nokkur eftir af húsi Sáls, að ég megi auðsýna honum miskunn Guðs?" Síba sagði við konung: "Enn er á lífi sonur Jónatans og er lami á báðum fótum."
4 Þá sagði konungur við hann: "Hvar er hann?" Síba sagði við konung: "Hann er í húsi Makírs Ammíelssonar í Lódebar."
5 Þá sendi Davíð konungur og lét sækja hann í hús Makírs Ammíelssonar í Lódebar.
6 Og Mefíbóset Jónatansson, Sálssonar, gekk fyrir Davíð, féll fram á ásjónu sína og laut honum. Og Davíð sagði: "Mefíbóset!" Hann svaraði: "Hér er þjónn þinn."
7 Þá mælti Davíð til hans: "Ver þú óhræddur, því að ég vil auðsýna þér miskunn fyrir sakir Jónatans, föður þíns, og fá þér aftur allar jarðeignir Sáls forföður þíns, og þú skalt jafnan eta við mitt borð."
8 Þá laut hann og mælti: "Hvað er þjónn þinn þess, að þú skiptir þér af dauðum hundi, eins og mér?"
9 Síðan kallaði konungur á Síba, þjón Sáls, og mælti til hans: "Allt sem Sál átti, og allt sem hús hans átti gef ég syni herra þíns.
10 Skalt þú nú yrkja landið fyrir hann ásamt sonum þínum og þrælum og hirða af því, svo að sonur herra þíns hafi fæðu og megi eta. En Mefíbóset, sonur herra þíns, skal jafnan eta við mitt borð." Og Síba átti fimmtán sonu og tuttugu þræla.
11 Síba sagði við konung: "Þjónn þinn mun gjöra að öllu svo sem minn herra konungurinn hefir boðið þjóni sínum." Og Mefíbóset át við borð Davíðs, svo sem væri hann einn konungssona.
12 Mefíbóset átti ungan son, sem Míka hét. Allir sem bjuggu í húsi Síba, voru þjónar Mefíbósets.
13 En Mefíbóset bjó í Jerúsalem, því að hann át jafnan við borð konungs. Hann var haltur á báðum fótum.

David and Mephibosheth
9 David asked, “Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?”(A)
2 Now there was a servant of Saul’s household named Ziba.(B) They summoned him to appear before David, and the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?”
“At your service,” he replied.
3 The king asked, “Is there no one still alive from the house of Saul to whom I can show God’s kindness?”
Ziba answered the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan;(C) he is lame(D) in both feet.”
4 “Where is he?” the king asked.
Ziba answered, “He is at the house of Makir(E) son of Ammiel in Lo Debar.”
5 So King David had him brought from Lo Debar, from the house of Makir son of Ammiel.
6 When Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, he bowed down to pay him honor.(F)
David said, “Mephibosheth!”
“At your service,” he replied.
7 “Don’t be afraid,” David said to him, “for I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan.(G) I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.(H)”
8 Mephibosheth(I) bowed down and said, “What is your servant, that you should notice a dead dog(J) like me?”
9 Then the king summoned Ziba, Saul’s steward, and said to him, “I have given your master’s grandson everything that belonged to Saul and his family. 10 You and your sons and your servants are to farm the land for him and bring in the crops, so that your master’s grandson(K) may be provided for. And Mephibosheth, grandson of your master, will always eat at my table.” (Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.)
11 Then Ziba said to the king, “Your servant will do whatever my lord the king commands his servant to do.” So Mephibosheth ate at David’s[a] table like one of the king’s sons.(L)
12 Mephibosheth had a young son named Mika, and all the members of Ziba’s household were servants of Mephibosheth.(M) 13 And Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the king’s table; he was lame in both feet.

King James Version
9 And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan's sake?
2 And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the king said unto him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he.
3 And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet.
4 And the king said unto him, Where is he? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar.
5 Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar.
6 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!
7 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.
8 And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?
9 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.
10 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.
11 Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king's sons.
12 And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth.
13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king's table; and was lame on both his feet.
