DAVID AND SIBA
And David is a little past the top, and behold, Siba the lad of Mephi Bosheth meets him with a pair of harnessed he burros; and on them two hundred bread and a hundred raisincakes and a hundred summer fruits and a bag of wine. 2 And the sovereign says to Siba, What mean you by these? And Siba says, The he burros are for the house of the sovereign to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the lads to eat; and the wine, for such as are weary in the wilderness to drink. 3 And the sovereign says, Where is the son of your adoni? And Siba says to the sovereign, Behold, he settles at Yeru Shalem: for he says, Today the house of Yisra El restores to me the sovereigndom of my father.

26 And he says, My adoni, O sovereign, my servant deceived me: for your servant said, I harness me a he burro to ride and go to the sovereign - because your servant is lame;
27 and he treaded against your servant to my adoni the sovereign; and my adoni the sovereign is as an angel of Elohim: so work whatever is good in your eyes:
