2 Samuel 16:2-4

1599 Geneva Bible

² And the King said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, They be ^[a]asses for the king’s household to ride on, and bread, and dried figs for the young men to eat, and wine, that the faint may drink in the wilderness.

³ And the King said, But where is thy master’s son? Then Ziba answered the King, Behold, he remaineth in Jerusalem: for he said, This day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.

⁴ Then said the King to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, ^[b]I beseech thee, let me find grace in thy sight, my lord, O King.
