## 2 Samuel 9:13 in Context (Verses 10–13 KJV)
 
 [10 ](/kjv/2-samuel/9/10) Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in *the fruits*, that thy master’s son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master’s son shall eat bread alway at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/2-samuel/9/11) Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, *said the king*, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king’s sons.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/2-samuel/9/12) And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name *was* Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba *were* servants unto Mephibosheth.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/2-samuel/9/13) So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king’s table; and was lame on both his feet.
