- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Dixitque Siba ad regem : Sicut jussisti, domine mi rex, servo tuo, sic faciet servus tuus : et Miphiboseth comedet super mensam meam, quasi unus de filiis regis.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ εἶπεν Σειβὰ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐντέταλται ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ δούλῳ αὐτοῦ, οὕτως ποιήσει ὁ δοῦλός σου. καὶ Μεμφιβόσθε ἤσθιεν ἐπὶ τῆς τραπέζης Δαυεὶδ καθὼς εἷς τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ τοῦ βασιλέως.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וַיֹּ֤אמֶר צִיבָא֙ אֶל הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ כְּכֹל֩ אֲשֶׁ֨ר יְצַוֶּ֜ה אֲדֹנִ֤י הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ אֶת עַבְדּ֔וֹ כֵּ֖ן יַעֲשֶׂ֣ה עַבְדֶּ֑ךָ וּמְפִיבֹ֗שֶׁת אֹכֵל֙ עַל שֻׁלְחָנִ֔י כְּאַחַ֖ד מִבְּנֵ֥י הַמֶּֽלֶךְ
Haydock's commentary
My table, if the king shall please so to order. (Sanchez)
It would seem that Siba did not properly understand the king. (Calmet)
The Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic, read, perhaps more correctly u, "his," instead of i, "my table," in shulchani. "And Memphibosthai ate at David's table, as one," &c. (Haydock)
He did not merely eat of the king's table, (ver. 13,) but at it, super mensam, as the Hebrew, Chaldean, and Septuagint express. (Menochius)
