Inkosi yayisithi: “Akusekho noyedwa yini endlini kaSawule engingamenzela umusa kaNkulunkulu na?” UZiba wathi enkosini: “Ikhona indodana kaJonathani ekhubazekile ezinyaweni.” Yathi inkosi kuye: “Ikuphi?” UZiba wathi enkosini: “Isendlini kaMakhiri, indodana ka-Amiyeli, eLo Debhari.” Inkosi uDavide yathumela ukuba alandwe endlini kaMakhiri, indodana ka-Amiyeli, waseLo Debhari. UMefibhoshethi, indodana kaJonathani kaSawule, wafika kuDavide, wakhothama wathi mbo ngobuso. UDavide wathi: “Mefibhoshethi.” Wathi: “Inceku yakho ilapha.” UDavide wayesethi kuye: “Ungesabi, ngokuba ngiyakukwenzela impela umusa ngenxa kaJonathani, uyihlo; ngizokubuyisela lonke izwe likamkhulu wakho, uSawule; uyakudla njalo etafuleni lami.” UMefibhoshethi wakhothama, wathi: “Ibe iyini nje inceku yakho ukuba ungaze uzikhathaze ngenja efileyo enjengami na?” Inkosi yayisibiza uZiba, inceku kaSawule, yathi kuye: “Konke okwakungokukaSawule nakuyo yonke indlu yakhe ngikunike umzukulu wenkosi yakho. Uyakumlimela umhlabathi, wena namadodana akho nezinceku zakho, uvune ukuze indodana yenkosi yakho ibe nokudla, kodwa uMefibhoshethi, indodana yenkosi yakho, uyakudla njalo etafuleni lami.” UZiba wayenamadodana ali-15 nezinceku ezingama-20. UZiba wathi enkosini: “Ngizokwenza njengakho konke inkosi yami, inkosi, eyale ngakho inceku yayo.” UMefibhoshethi uyakudla etafuleni lenkosi njengenye yamadodana enkosi. UMefibhoshethi wayenendodana encane, igama layo kunguMikha. Bonke ababehlala endlini kaZiba babeyizinceku zikaMefibhoshethi.
