He lived to see Ephraim's children and grandchildren. He also lived to receive the children of Machir son of Manasseh into the family.

When Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan and grandson of Saul, arrived, he bowed down before David in respect. David said, “Mephibosheth,” and he answered, “At your service, sir.”
