All that pertained. Ziba’s tale apparently was a base slander on his master, but David believed it and gave to Ziba the reward he sought. It was wholly unjust for the king to give away the property of Mephibosheth without hearing his side of the story, but in the stress and worry of the flight he thought only of the help Ziba offered.
