大卫恩待米非波设
1大卫问：“扫罗一家还有什么人吗？我要因为和约拿单的情义而恩待他。” 2有人就去叫扫罗家一个名叫洗巴的仆人来见大卫，王问他：“你就是洗巴吗？”他说：“仆人正是洗巴。” 3王说：“扫罗家中还有什么人？我要以上帝的慈爱来待他。”洗巴答道：“约拿单还有一个儿子，是双脚残废的。” 4王说：“他在哪里？”洗巴答道：“他住在罗·底巴，在亚米利的儿子玛吉家里。” 5于是，大卫王派人去罗·底巴把他从亚米利的儿子玛吉家里接来。 6扫罗的孙子、约拿单的儿子米非波设来到大卫面前，向他俯伏叩拜。大卫说：“米非波设！”米非波设答道：“仆人在这里。” 7大卫说：“你不用害怕，我要因为和你父亲约拿单的情义而恩待你。我要把你祖父扫罗所有的田地归还给你，你要常与我同席吃饭。” 8米非波设再次叩拜，说：“仆人算什么？不过像一条死狗罢了，你竟这样眷顾我！”
9王又把扫罗的仆人洗巴召来，对他说：“我已把扫罗全家的产业都赐给了你主人的孙子米非波设。 10你和你的儿子及仆人要为米非波设种田，把出产拿来供养他。他还要常常与我同席吃饭。”洗巴有十五个儿子，二十个仆人。 11洗巴对王说：“仆人必遵行我主我王的一切吩咐。”于是，米非波设像王子一样常与大卫同席吃饭。 12米非波设有一个小儿子名叫米迦。洗巴家中的人都做了米非波设的仆人。 13从此，双脚残废的米非波设就住在耶路撒冷，常常与王同席吃饭。
