2 Samuel 16:2-4
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 16
2
And the king said to Ziba, 'Why do you have these?' And Ziba said, '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, for whoever is weary in the wilderness to drink.'
3
Then the king said, 'And where is your master’s son?' And Ziba said to the king, 'Behold, he is staying in Jerusalem, for he said, ‘Today the house of Israel will restore the kingdom of my father to me.’?'
4
So the king said to Ziba, 'Behold, all that belongs to Mephibosheth is yours.' And Ziba said, 'I prostrate myself; may I find favor in your sight, my lord, the king!'
King James Version
Chapter 16
2
And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses be for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink.
3
And the king said, And where is thy master's son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: for he said, To day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.
4
Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly beseech thee that I may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king.

The king said to Ziba, "Why do you have these?" Ziba answered, "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 for those to drink who become exhausted in the wilderness."
3
"Where is your master’s grandson?" the king asked. "Why, he’s staying in Jerusalem," Ziba replied to the king, "for he said, ‘Today, the house of Israel will restore my grandfather’s kingdom to me.’"
4
The king said to Ziba, "All that belongs to Mephibosheth is now yours!" "I bow before you," Ziba said. "May I find favor with you, my lord the king!"

What are these for?' the king asked Ziba. Ziba replied, 'The donkeys are for the king’s people to ride on, and the bread and summer fruit are for the young men to eat. The wine is for those who become exhausted in the wilderness.'
3
And where is Mephibosheth, Saul’s grandson?' the king asked him. 'He stayed in Jerusalem,' Ziba replied. 'He said, ‘Today I will get back the kingdom of my grandfather Saul.’'
4
In that case,' the king told Ziba, 'I give you everything Mephibosheth owns.' 'I bow before you,' Ziba replied. 'May I always be pleasing to you, my lord the king.'

2
The king asked Ziba, "Why have you brought these?" Ziba answered, "The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on, the bread and fruit are for the men to eat, and the wine is to refresh those who become exhausted in the wilderness."
3
The king then asked, "Where is your master’s grandson?" Ziba said to him, "He is staying in Jerusalem, because he thinks, ‘Today the Israelites will restore to me my grandfather’s kingdom.’ "
4
Then the king said to Ziba, "All that belonged to Mephibosheth is now yours." "I humbly bow," Ziba said. "May I find favor in your eyes, my lord the king."
New King James Version
Chapter 16
2
And the king said to Ziba, “What do you mean to do with these?” So Ziba said, “The donkeys
are
for the king’s household to ride on, the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine for those who are faint in the wilderness to drink.”
3
Then the king said, “And where
is
your master’s son?” And Ziba said to the king, “Indeed he is staying in Jerusalem, for he said, ‘Today the house of Israel will restore the kingdom of my father to me.’ ”
4
So the king said to Ziba, “Here, all that
belongs
to Mephibosheth
is
yours.” And Ziba said, “I humbly bow before you,
that
I may find favor in your sight, my lord, O king!”
