2 Samuel 9:10-12
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
10 You and your sons and your servants shall till the land for him, and shall bring in the produce, so that your master’s grandson may have food to eat; but your master’s grandson Mephibosheth[a] shall always eat at my table.” Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants. 11 Then Ziba said to the king, “According to all that my lord the king commands his servant, so your servant will do.” Mephibosheth[b] ate at David’s[c] table, like one of the king’s sons. 12 Mephibosheth[d] had a young son whose name was Mica. And all who lived in Ziba’s house became Mephibosheth’s[e] servants.
