Mephibosheth comes down to meet the king, and the king tells him to divide the land with Ziba

므비보셋이 내려와서 왕을 맞고 왕이 시바와 밭을 나누라고 말함

2 Samuel 19:24–30: Mephibosheth the son of Saul comes down to meet the king; and he had neither groomed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace. When he had come to Jerusalem to meet the king, the king says to him, “Why didn’t you go with me, Mephibosheth?” He answers, “My lord, O king, my servant deceived me. For your servant said, ‘I will saddle a donkey for myself, that I may ride on it and go with the king,’ because your servant is lame. He has slandered your servant to my lord the king, but my lord the king is as an angel of God. Therefore do what is good in your eyes. For all my father’s house were but dead men before my lord the king; yet you set your servant among those who ate at your own table. What right therefore have I yet that I should appeal any more to the king?” The king says to him, “Why do you speak any more of your matters? I say, you and Ziba divide the land.” Mephibosheth says to the king, “Yes, let him take all, because my lord the king has come in peace to his own house.” The Korean Revised Version calls him 사울의 손자, Saul’s grandson; has him come 예루살렘에서, from Jerusalem, to meet the king; and at 19:26 puts his being lame and his wish to ride with the king before 나의 종이 나를 속이고 (my servant deceived me), with no quotation inside.
