Dishonest Tsiva helps David

16:1 Dishonest Tsiva helps David

Full kingdom

16David hadn’t gone far past the summit when, wow, he was meet by Mefiboshet’s servant Tsiva with a pair of saddled donkeys loaded with two hundred bread rolls, one hundred cakes of raisins, one hundred pieces of fresh fruit, and a leather container of wine.[ref] 2What’s all that?” the king asked.

“The donkeys are for the king’s family to ride,” Tsiva answered, “and the bread and fruits are for the young men to eat, and the wine is for the people to drink who feel faint in the wilderness.”

3So where’s your master’s grandson Mefiboshet?” asked the king.[ref]

Ha, he stayed in Yerushalem because he thought that the Israelis might give back control of his grandfather’s kingdom,” Tsiva lied.

4“Well then,” the king told Tsiva, “everything that belonged to Mefiboshet now belongs to you.”

I’m honoured,” Tsiva responded, “that I’ve found favour in the eyes of my master the king.”
