2 Samuel 9:1-5 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. David asked, "Is there anyone from Saul’s family still alive that I could show faithful love for Jonathan’s sake?"

2. There was a servant from Saul’s household named Ziba, and he was summoned before David."Are you Ziba?" the king asked him."At your service!" he answered.

3. The king asked, "Is there anyone left from Saul’s family that I could show God’s kindness to?""Yes," Ziba said to the king, "one of Jonathan’s sons, whose feet are crippled."

4. "Where is he?" the king asked."He is at the house of Ammiel’s son Machir at Lo-debar," Ziba told the king.

5. So King David had him brought from the house of Ammiel’s son Machir at Lo-debar.
