Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants. 11Then Ziba said to the king, "Your servant will do according to everything that my lord the king commands." So Mephibosheth ate at David's table as one of the king's sons. 12Mephibosheth had a young son whose name was Mica. And all who lived in Ziba's house were servants to Mephibosheth. 13So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, for he always ate at the king's table. And he was lame in both feet.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant,.... Who had been his servant:
and said unto him, I have given unto thy master's son; meaning either, as some, the son of Mephibosheth, Micha after mentioned; or rather Mephibosheth himself, the grandson of Saul, whose servant Ziba had been:
all that pertained to Saul, and to all his house; all his paternal estate, or what he had acquired, or in any wise belonged to him and his family; which David had in possession, and which he readily and cheerfully delivered up to Mephibosheth, having so great a regard to the memory of his father.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Saulâs servant - Josephus calls him one of Saulâs freedmen. The difference this would make in Zibaâs position would only be that instead of paying in the fruits of the confiscated land to David, he would have to pay them to Mephiboseth.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 9:9. I have given unto thy master's son — Unless Ziba had been servant of Jonathan, this seems to refer to Micha, son of Mephibosheth, and so some understand it; but it is more likely that Mephibosheth is meant, who is called son of Saul instead of grandson. Yet it is evident enough that the produce of the land went to the support of Micha, (see 2 Samuel 9:10), for the father was provided for at the table of David; but all the patrimony belonged to Mephibosheth.
