And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king is come again in peace unto his own house.
Mephibosheth said to the king, 'Yes, let him take everything, since my lord the king has returned safely to his own home.'
Mephibosheth tells King David that he's so grateful the king returned safely that he doesn't care about losing his property, having David back is worth more than any possession.
📚 Historical Context
In the biblical narrative, King David had fled Jerusalem due to his son Absalom's rebellion, which forced him into exile. Upon his return, Mephibosheth, the disabled grandson of Saul and a loyal subject, met David and affirmed his faithfulness despite being wronged by his servant Ziba, who had falsely claimed his loyalty. Mephibosheth's response highlighted his greater concern for the king's safety and restoration over his own lost possessions and inheritance.
