And Jonathan, Saul's son, [had] a son lame of his feet, five years old, and he was [in the way] when the news of Saul and Jonathan his son came from Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled. And it came to pass as he made haste and retreated, that he fell, and was crippled. And his name [was] Mephibosheth.

And you, and your sons, and your servants, shall till the land for him; and you shall bring in bread to the son of your lord, and he shall eat bread; and Mephibosheth the son of your lord shall eat bread continually at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

And the king said to Ziba, Behold, all Memphibosheth's property [is] yours. And Ziba bowed down and said, My lord, O king, let me find grace in your eyes.

And it came to pass when he went into Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, Why did you not go with me, Memphibosheth?

And you shall deal mercifully with your servant; for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the Lord with yourself. And if there is iniquity in your servant, then kill me yourself, for why should you bring me to your father?

And Jonathan swore yet again to David, because he loved the soul of him that loved him.

And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, and as we have both sworn in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord shall be witness between me and you, and between my seed and your seed forever- [even so let it be]. And David arose and departed, and Jonathan went into the city.

So they both made a covenant before the Lord; and David dwelt in Caene, and Jonathan went to his home.
