So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he ate continually at the king's table; and was lame in both his feet.

And when David had called him, he ate and drank before him; and he made him drunk: and at evening he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.
