So King David had him brought from the house of Machir son of Ammiel in Lo-debar.
He saw Ephraim’s sons to the third generation; the sons of Manasseh’s son Machir were recognized by Joseph.
The king asked him, “Where is he? ” Ziba answered the king, “You’ll find him in Lo-debar at the house of Machir son of Ammiel.”
Mephibosheth son of Jonathan son of Saul came to David, bowed down to the ground and paid homage. David said, “Mephibosheth! ” “I am your servant,” he replied.
