161 When David had gone a little beyond the summit of the Mount of Olives, Ziba, the servant of Mephibosheth, was waiting there for him. He had two donkeys loaded with 200Â loaves of bread, 100Â clusters of raisins, 100Â bunches of summer fruit, and a wineskin full of wine.

Ziba belied Mephibosheth. Great men ought always to be jealous of flatterers, and to be careful that they hear both sides.
