1 And when David had passed a little beyond the top of the mountain, Ziba, the servant of Mephibosheth, appeared to meet him, with two donkeys, which were burdened with two hundred loaves, and one hundred bunches of dried grapes, and one hundred masses of dried figs, and a skin of wine.
2 And the king said to Ziba, 'What do you intend to do with these things?' And Ziba responded: 'The donkeys are for the household of the king, so that they may sit. And the loaves and dried figs are for your servants to eat. But the wine is for anyone to drink who may be faint in the desert.'
3 And the king said, 'Where is the son of your lord?' And Ziba answered the king: 'He remained in Jerusalem, saying, 'Today, the house of Israel will restore the kingdom of my father to me.'
