2 Samuel 9:8 in Context — 2 Samuel 9
6 E vindo Mefibosete, filho de Jônatas filho de Saul, a Davi, prostrou-se sobre seu rosto, e fez reverência. E disse Davi: Mefibosete. E ele respondeu: Eis aqui teu servo.
7 E disse-lhe Davi: Não tenhas temor, porque eu à verdade farei contigo misericórdia por causa de Jônatas teu pai, e te devolverei todas as terras de Saul teu pai; e tu comerás sempre pão à minha mesa.
8 E ele inclinando-se, disse: Quem é teu servo, para que olhes a um cão morto como eu?
9 Então o rei chamou a Ziba, servo de Saul, e disse-lhe: Tudo o que foi de Saul e de toda sua casa, eu o dei ao filho de teu senhor.
10 Tu pois lhe lavrarás as terras, tu com teus filhos, e teus servos, e colherás os frutos, para que o filho de teu senhor tenha com que se manter; mas Mefibosete, o filho de teu senhor comerá sempre pão à minha mesa. E Ziba tinha quinze filhos e vinte servos.
