And Jonathan, H3083 Saul's H7586 son, H1121 had a son H1121 that was lame H5223 of his feet. H7272 He was five H2568 years H8141 old H1121 when the tidings H8052 came H935 of Saul H7586 and Jonathan H3083 out of Jezreel, H3157 and his nurse H539 took H5375 him up, and fled: H5127 and it came H1961 to pass, as she made haste H2648 to flee, H5127 that he fell, H5307 and became H6452 lame. H6452 And his name H8034 was Mephibosheth. H4648

You therefore, and your sons, H1121 and your servants, H5650 shall till H5647 the land H127 for him, and you shall bring H935 in the fruits, that your master's H113 son H1121 may have H1961 food H3899 to eat: H398 but Mephibosheth H4648 your master's H113 son H1121 shall eat H398 bread H3899 always H8548 at H5921 my table. H7979 Now Ziba H6717 had fifteen H2568 H6240 sons H1121 and twenty H6242 servants. H5650

Then said H559 the king H4428 to Ziba, H6717 Behold, H2009 your are all H3605 that pertained to Mephibosheth. H4648 And Ziba H6717 said, H559 I humbly H7812 beseech you that I may find H4672 grace H2580 in your sight, H5869 my lord, H113 O king. H4428

And it came H1961 to pass, when H3588 he was come H935 to Jerusalem H3389 to meet H7125 the king, H4428 that the king H4428 said H559 to him, Why H4100 went H1980 not you with me, Mephibosheth? H4648

Then Jonathan H3083 and David H1732 made H3772 a covenant, H1285 because he loved H160 him as his own soul. H5315

Therefore you shall deal H6213 kindly H2617 with your servant; H5650 for you have brought H935 your servant H5650 into a covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 with you: notwithstanding, if H518 there be in me iniquity, H5771 slay H4191 me yourself; H859 for why H4100 should you bring H935 me to your father? H1

But also you shall not cut H3772 off your kindness H2617 from my house H1004 for ever: H5769 no, not when the LORD H3068 has cut H3772 off the enemies H341 of David H1732 every H376 one H376 from the face H6440 of the earth. H127

And Jonathan H3083 caused David H1732 to swear H7650 again, H3254 because he loved H160 him: for he loved H157 him as he loved H160 his own soul. H5315

And Jonathan H3083 said H559 to David, H1732 Go H3212 in peace, H7965 for as much as we have sworn H7650 both H8147 of us in the name H8034 of the LORD, H3068 saying, H559 The LORD H3068 be between H996 me and you, and between H996 my seed H2233 and your seed H2233 for ever. H5769 And he arose H6965 and departed: H3212 and Jonathan H3083 went H935 into the city. H5892

And they two H8147 made H3772 a covenant H1285 before H6440 the LORD: H3068 and David H1732 stayed H3427 in the wood, H2793 and Jonathan H3083 went H1980 to his house. H1004
