David and Ziba

When David had gone a little beyond the summit, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth was there to meet him. He had a pair of saddled donkeys loaded with two hundred [loaves] of bread, a hundred clusters of raisins, a hundred summer fruits, and a skin of wine.

2 

“Why do you have these?” asked the king

Ziba replied“The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride, the bread and summer fruit are for the young men to eat, and the wine is to refresh those who become exhausted in the wilderness.”

3 

“Where is your master’s grandson?” asked the king.

And Ziba answered“Indeed, he is staying in Jerusalem, for he has said,‘Today, the house of Israel will restore to me the kingdom of my grandfather.’ ”

4 

So the king said to Ziba,“All that [belongs] vvv to Mephibosheth is now yours

“I humbly bow before you,” said Ziba.“May I find favor in your eyes, my lord the king!”
