Berkatalah Ziba kepada raja: "Hambamu ini akan melakukan tepat seperti yang diperintahkan tuanku raja kepadanya." Dan Mefiboset makan sehidangan dengan Daud sebagai salah seorang anak raja.
Maka sembah Ziba kepada baginda: Segala titah tuanku kepada patik ini, patik junjung. Maka Mefiboset itu duduklah makan sehidangan dengan baginda, seperti salah seorang putera baginda juga.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then said Ziba unto the king, according to all the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do,.... Till the land, and bring the fruits of it to Mephibosheth, for the support of his family; he promised very fair, had he been as faithful to his trust:
as for Mephibosheth, [said the king], he shall eat at my table, as one of the king's sons; which is repeated, for the confirmation of it, and to show that he should be treated with equal respect, and fare as the king's sons themselves did; though the clause "said the king" is not in the original text, and the words are thought by Abarbinel and others to be the words of Ziba continued; who promised to do what the king had ordered, though Mephibosheth had eaten at his table, as one of the king's sons, and needed not anything, and needed not to eat at the king's table; and if it was his pleasure, he would maintain him out of this estate like the son of a king; but the phrase "my table" seems to be too arrogant for Ziba to say, and rather fits the mouth of David the king.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Said the king - There is nothing in the Hebrew to warrant the insertion of these words. The words are: “So Mephibosheth ate at my table as one of the king’s sons.” Only it follows that the narrator is David himself.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 9:11. So shall thy servant do. — The promises of Ziba were fair and specious, but he was a traitor in his heart, as we shall see in the rebellion of Absalom, and David's indulgence to this man is a blot in his character; at this time however he suspected no evil; circumstances alone can develope the human character. The internal villain can be known only when circumstances occur which can call his propensities into action; till then he may be reputed an honest man.
