2 Samuel 9:1-13
1
And David H1732 said, H559 Is there yet H5750 any that is left H3498 of the house H1004 of Saul, H7586 that I may show H6213 him kindness H2617 for Jonathan's H3129 sake? H5668
2
And there was of the house H1004 of Saul H7586 a servant H5650 whose name H8034 was Ziba. H6717 And when they had called H7121 him to David, H1732 the king H4428 said H559 to him, Are you Ziba? H6717 And he said, H559 Your servant H5650 is he.
3
And the king H4428 said, H559 Is there not yet H5750 any H376 of the house H1004 of Saul, H7586 that I may show H6213 the kindness H2617 of God H430 to him? And Ziba H6717 said H559 to the king, H4428 Jonathan H3083 has yet H5750 a son, H1121 which is lame H5223 on his feet. H7272
4
And the king H4428 said H559 to him, Where H375 is he? And Ziba H6717 said H559 to the king, H4428 Behold, H2009 he is in the house H1004 of Machir, H4353 the son H1121 of Ammiel, H5988 in Lodebar. H3810
5
Then king H4428 David H1732 sent, H7971 and fetched H3947 him out of the house H1004 of Machir, H4353 the son H1121 of Ammiel, H5988 from Lodebar. H3810
6
Now when Mephibosheth, H4648 the son H1121 of Jonathan, H3083 the son H1121 of Saul, H7586 was come H935 to David, H1732 he fell H5307 on H5921 his face, H6440 and did reverence. H7812 And David H1732 said, H559 Mephibosheth. H4648 And he answered, H559 Behold H2009 your servant! H5650
7
And David H1732 said H559 to him, Fear H3372 not: for I will surely H3588 show H6213 you kindness H2617 for Jonathan H3083 your father's H1 sake, H5668 and will restore H7725 you all H3605 the land H7704 of Saul H7586 your father; H1 and you shall eat H398 bread H3899 at H5921 my table H7979 continually. H8548
8
And he bowed H7812 himself, and said, H559 What H4100 is your servant, H5650 that you should look H6437 on such a dead H4191 dog H3611 as I am?
9
Then the king H4428 called H7121 to Ziba, H6717 Saul's H7586 servant, H5288 and said H559 to him, I have given H5414 to your master's H113 son H1121 all H3605 that pertained H1961 to Saul H7586 and to all H3605 his house. H1004
10
You therefore, and your sons, H1121 and your servants, H5650 shall till H5647 the land H127 for him, and you shall bring H935 in the fruits, that your master's H113 son H1121 may have H1961 food H3899 to eat: H398 but Mephibosheth H4648 your master's H113 son H1121 shall eat H398 bread H3899 always H8548 at H5921 my table. H7979 Now Ziba H6717 had fifteen H2568 H6240 sons H1121 and twenty H6242 servants. H5650
11
Then said H559 Ziba H6717 to the king, H4428 According to all H3605 that my lord H113 the king H4428 has commanded H6680 his servant, H5650 so H3651 shall your servant H5650 do. H6213 As for Mephibosheth, H4648 said the king, H4428 he shall eat H398 at H5921 my table, H7979 as one H259 of the king's H4428 sons. H1121
12
And Mephibosheth H4648 had a young H6996 son, H1121 whose name H8034 was Micha. H4316 And all H3605 that dwelled H4186 in the house H1004 of Ziba H6717 were servants H5650 to Mephibosheth. H4648
13
So Mephibosheth H4648 dwelled H3427 in Jerusalem: H3389 for he did eat H398 continually H8548 at H5921 the king's H4428 table; H7979 and was lame H6455 on both H8147 his feet. H7272
Job 31:16-21
16
If H518 I have withheld H4513 the poor H1800 from their desire, H2656 or have caused the eyes H5869 of the widow H490 to fail; H3615
17
Or have eaten H398 my morsel H6595 myself alone, H905 and the fatherless H3490 has not eaten H398 thereof;
18
(For from my youth H5271 he was brought H1431 up with me, as with a father, H1 and I have guided H5148 her from my mother's H517 womb; H990 )
19
If H518 I have seen H7200 any perish H6 for want H1097 of clothing, H3830 or any poor H34 without H369 covering; H3682
20
If H518 his loins H2504 have not blessed H1288 me, and if he were not warmed H2552 with the fleece H1488 of my sheep; H3532
21
If H518 I have lifted H5130 up my hand H3027 against H5921 the fatherless, H3490 when H3588 I saw H7200 my help H5833 in the gate: H8179
Psalm 112:9
He has dispersed, H6340 he has given H5414 to the poor; H34 his righteousness H6666 endures H5975 for ever; H5703 his horn H7161 shall be exalted H7311 with honor. H3519
Proverbs 11:24
There is that scatters, H6340 and yet H5750 increases; H3254 and there is that withholds H2820 more than is meet, H3476 but it tends to poverty. H4270
Luke 6:33-35
33
And if G1437 you do good G15 to them which do G15 good G15 to you, what G4169 thank G5485 have G2076 you? for sinners G268 also G2532 do G4160 even G2532 the same. G846
34
And if G1437 you lend G1155 to them of whom G3739 you hope G1679 to receive, G618 what G4169 thank G5485 have G2076 you? for sinners G268 also G2532 lend G1155 to sinners, G268 to receive G618 as much G2470 again. G618
35
But love G25 you your G5216 enemies, G2190 and do G15 good, G15 and lend, G1155 hoping G560 for nothing G3367 again; G560 and your G5216 reward G3408 shall be great, G4183 and you shall be the children G5207 of the Highest: G5310 for he is kind G5543 to the unthankful G884 and to the evil. G4190
Acts 9:39
Then G1161 Peter G4074 arose G450 and went G4905 with them. When he was come, G3854 they brought G321 him into G1519 the upper G5253 chamber: G5253 and all G3956 the widows G5503 stood G3936 by him weeping, G2799 and showing G1925 the coats G5509 and garments G2440 which G3745 Dorcas G1393 made, G4160 while she was with them.
Acts 11:29
Then G1161 the disciples, G3101 every G1538 man G1538 according G2531 to his ability, G2141 determined G3724 to send G3992 relief G1248 to the brothers G80 which dwelled G2730 in Judaea: G2449
Acts 11:30
Which G3739 also G2532 they did, G4160 and sent G649 it to the elders G4245 by the hands G5495 of Barnabas G921 and Saul. G4569
2 Corinthians 8:2
How that in a great G4183 trial G1382 of affliction G2347 the abundance G4050 of their joy G5479 and their deep G899 poverty G4432 abounded G4052 to the riches G4149 of their liberality. G572
2 Corinthians 9:6-11
6
But this G5124 I say, He which sows G4687 sparingly G5340 shall reap G2325 also G2532 sparingly; G5340 and he which sows G4687 bountifully G2129 shall reap G2325 also G2532 bountifully. G2129
7
Every G1538 man according G2531 as he purposes G4255 in his heart, G2588 so let him give; not grudgingly, G1537 G3077 or G2228 of necessity: G318 for God G2316 loves G25 a cheerful G2431 giver. G1395
8
And God G2316 is able G1415 to make G4052 all G3956 grace G5485 abound G4052 toward G1519 you; that you, always G3842 having G2192 all G3956 sufficiency G841 in all G3956 things, may abound G4052 to every G3956 good G18 work: G2041
9
(As it is written, G1125 He has dispersed G4650 abroad; G4650 he has given G1325 to the poor: G3993 his righteousness G1343 remains G3306 for ever. G165
10
Now G1161 he that ministers G2023 seed G4690 to the sower G4687 both G2532 minister G5524 bread G740 for your food, G1035 and multiply G4129 your G5216 seed G4703 sown, and increase G837 the fruits G1081 of your G5216 righteousness; G1343 )
11
Being enriched G4148 in every G3956 thing to all G3956 bountifulness, G572 which G3748 causes G2716 through G1223 us thanksgiving G2169 to God. G2316
