11扫罗家有一个仆人，名叫洗巴；有人叫他来见大卫。大卫问他说，『扫罗家还有人没有？我要照神的慈爱恩待他。』（3上。）仆人对他说，还有约拿单的一个儿子，是瘸腿的。当米非波设来见大卫，大卫对他说，不要怕，大卫必因他父亲约拿单的缘故以慈爱待他，并要将他祖父扫罗的一切田地都归还他，他也可以常与大卫同席吃饭。（7。）米非波设向大卫叩拜说，『仆人算甚么？王竟眷顾我这样一只死狗。』（8。）
11A servant of the house of Saul, whose name was Ziba, was called to David, and David asked him, " Is there yet anyone at all of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God to him?" (v. 3a). The servant told him that there was still a son of Jonathan, one who was crippled in his feet. When Mephibosheth came to David, David told him not to be afraid, for he would surely show kindness to him for the sake of Jonathan his father. David went on to tell him that he would restore to him all the land of his father Saul and that he would eat food at his table continually (v. 7). Mephibosheth paid homage to David and said, "What is your servant that you should look upon a dead dog like me?" (v. 8).
