The king calls Ziba, Saul’s servant, and Mephibosheth eats continually at the king’s table

왕이 사울의 사환 시바를 부르고 므비보셋이 항상 왕의 상에서 먹음

2 Samuel 9:9–13: the king calls to Ziba, Saul’s servant, and says to him, “All that belonged to Saul and to all his house I have given to your master’s son. Till the land for him—you, your sons, and your servants. Bring in the harvest, that your master’s son may have bread to eat; but Mephibosheth your master’s son will always eat bread at my table.” Now Ziba has fifteen sons and twenty servants. Then Ziba says to the king, “According to all that my lord the king commands his servant, so your servant will do.” So Mephibosheth eats at the king’s table like one of the king’s sons. Mephibosheth has a young son, whose name is Mica. All who live in Ziba’s house are servants to Mephibosheth. So Mephibosheth lives in Jerusalem, for he eats continually at the king’s table. He is lame in both his feet.
