Ver. 11. As for Mephibosheth, said the king.] These last words are not in the original: and some there are that make it Ziba's speech; as if he had said, Do, O king, as thou thinkest fitting: howbeit Mephibosheth might have his meals with me, and should by me be royally entertained as a king's son.
