Analysis

The structure of this chapter is as follows:Шаблон:Sfn

A. David's intention (9:1)
B. David speaks to Ziba (9:2–5)
C. Mephibosheth does obeisance (9:6)
D. David fulfills his covenant with Jonathan (9:7)
C'. Mephibosheth does obeisance (9:8)
B'. David speaks to Ziba (9:9–11)
A'. David's intention is accomplished (9:12–13)

This chapter is connected with events concerning the house of Saul and the death of Ishbosheth in 2 Samuel 2–4, but more strongly with the story of the Gibeonites' revenge in 2 Samuel 21:1–14, which should precede the accommodation of Mephibosheth at David's table.Шаблон:Sfn

Шаблон:AnchorDavid inquires about the house of Saul (9:1–4)

The section begins with David asking about 'showing kindness to the house of Saul for Jonathan's sake' (verse 1), which is based on his promises to Jonathan in their covenant before YHWH (Шаблон:Bibleverse) and his promise to Saul that he 'would not cut off his descendants' (Шаблон:Bibleverse).Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The passage contains a flashback to a time early in David's reign (c. 999 BCE according to SteinmannШаблон:Sfn), placed in this chapter in anticipation of the events in 1 Samuel 16 and 1 Samuel 19 concerning Ziba and Mephibosheth.Шаблон:Sfn David did not have much information about Saul's house since his escape from that house (c. 1015 BCEШаблон:Sfn), whereas his last contact with Jonathan was at Horesh (1 Samuel 23:16–18; c. 1013–1012 BCEШаблон:Sfn) about one year after Mephibosheth's birth.Шаблон:Efn David's official knew about Saul's servant, Ziba, who had the information about Saul's descendants (verse 2). Ziba only identified Mephibosheth as the surviving member of the house of Saul, because Saul's sons from concubines and the grandsons through his daughter Merab (cf. 2 Samuel 21:8) were not considered heirs to Saul's house.Шаблон:Sfn

Verse 1

And David said, "Is there still anyone left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?"[4]
  • "Kindness": in the sense of "covenant faithfulness".[5]

The presence of a Saulide in David's household emphasizes that David was dealing honorably with Jonathan's descendant, using the word 'kindness' (khesed), which occurs in verses 1, 3, and 7,Шаблон:Sfn to conform with Jonathan's appeal to 'show me the kindness (khesed')' of the Lord' in Шаблон:Bibleverse.Шаблон:Sfn David granted Mephibosheth son of Jonathan special patronage (verse 7), at royal expense (v. 11), his grandfather's property restored to him (verse 7) and arrangements were made for Ziba to act as estate manager to provide for the family (verse 10).Шаблон:Sfn

Saul's estate (verse 7) was a crown property, so it should belong to David after he became king, but at that time some may also be still the property of remaining members in Saul's house, including his children of concubines, relatives and the family of his daughters.Шаблон:Sfn Merab, Saul's oldest daughter, was with her husband, Adriel, in Meholah (1 Samuel 14:49; 18:17–19), whereas Michal, Saul's other daughter, resided with her husband, king David, in Jerusalem (2 Samuel 6:16–23), so some lands in other areas may have been maintained by caretakers, including Ziba.Шаблон:Sfn This could be how David's officials were able to trace Ziba.Шаблон:Sfn Now David could declare that all the estate should be given to Mephibosheth as Saul's sole legitimate heir.Шаблон:Sfn

Verse 5

Then King David sent and brought him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo Debar.[6]
  • "Machir": a valued member in Saul's house who later also showed kindness to David during Absalom's rebellion (1 Samuel 17:27–29).Шаблон:Sfn
