2 Samuel 16:2-4

Revised Geneva Translation

³ And the king said, “But where is your master’s son?” Then, Ziba answered the king, “Behold, he remains in Jerusalem. For he said, ‘This day shall the House of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.’”

⁴ Then the king said to Ziba, “Behold, all that belongs to Mephibosheth is yours.” And Ziba said, “I beg you, let me find grace in your sight, my lord, O king!”
