10:009:005 Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of
           Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar.

10:009:006 Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul,
           was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. 
           And David said, Mephibosheth.  And he answered, Behold thy
           servant!

10:009:007 And David said unto him, Fear not:  for I will surely shew thee
           kindness for Jonathan thy father’s sake, and will restore thee
           all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at
           my table continually.

10:009:008 And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou
           shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?

10:009:009 Then the king called to Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said unto
           him, I have given unto thy master’s son all that pertained to
           Saul and to all his house.

10:009:010 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.

10:009:011 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.

10:009:012 And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha.  And
           all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto
           Mephibosheth.

10:009:013 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem:  for he did eat continually
           at the king’s table; and was lame on both his feet.

10:010:001 And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children
           of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.

10:010:002 Then said David, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of
           Nahash, as his father shewed kindness unto me.  And David sent
           to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father.  And
           David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.

10:010:003 And the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their
           lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he
           hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David rather sent his
           servants unto thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and
           to overthrow it?

10:010:004 Wherefore Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved off the one
           half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the
           middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
