2 Samuel 9:6

9:6 When Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, he bowed low with his face toward the ground. David said, “Mephibosheth?” He replied, “Yes, at your service.”

2 Samuel 9:10

9:10 You will cultivate the land for him – you and your sons and your servants. You will bring its produce and it will be food for your master’s grandson to eat. But Mephibosheth, your master’s grandson, will be a regular guest at my table.” (Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.)


tn Heb “he fell on his face and bowed down.”

tn Heb “Look, your servant.”

tn Heb “work.”

tn The Hebrew text implies, but does not actually contain, the words “its produce” here.

tc The words “it will be,” though present in the MT, are absent from the LXX, the Syriac Peshitta, and Vulgate.

tn Heb “and he will eat it.”
