2 Samuel 16:2-4

New International Version

² The king asked Ziba, “Why have you brought these?”

Ziba answered, “The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on, the bread and fruit are for the men to eat, and the wine is to refresh^(A) those who become exhausted in the wilderness.”

³ The king then asked, “Where is your master’s grandson?”^(B)

Ziba^(C) said to him, “He is staying in Jerusalem, because he thinks, ‘Today the Israelites will restore to me my grandfather’s kingdom.’”

⁴ Then the king said to Ziba, “All that belonged to Mephibosheth^(D) is now yours.”

“I humbly bow,” Ziba said. “May I find favor in your eyes, my lord the king.”
