Commentary on 2 Samuel 9:11

Theological / Devotional

So shall thy servant do. The servant of Saul acknowledged himself to be the servant of David. Ziba promised to obey all the king’s commands. He was given an opportunity to demonstrate his loyalty during Absalom’s rebellion (2 Sam. 16:1-4).

At my table. This is the third time this statement is made (see vs. 7, 10). Its repetition shows its importance and the greatness of the honor that was being bestowed on Mephibosheth.
