掃羅的孫子米非波設也下去迎接王。他自從王出走那天，直到王平平安安回來的日子，都沒有修腳，沒有刮鬍子，也沒有洗衣服。他從耶路撒冷來迎接王的時候，王問他：“米非波設啊，你為甚麼沒有與我一同離開呢？”他回答：“我主我王，你僕人是瘸腿的；那天，我心裡想我要預備驢子，可以騎上，與王一同離開，但是我的僕人卻欺騙了我，又在我主我王面前毀謗你僕人。但我主我王像神的使者一樣，現在，你看怎樣好，就怎樣行吧！

大衛剛越過山頂不遠，就看見米非波設的僕人洗巴前來迎接他；又有一對預備好了的驢子，驢子身上馱著兩百個餅，一百個葡萄乾餅，一百個夏天的果餅和一皮袋酒。王問洗巴：“你為甚麼帶這些東西來？”洗巴回答：“驢子是給王的家眷騎的，餅和夏天的果餅是給年輕人吃的，酒是給在曠野裡疲乏的人喝的。”王又問：“你主人的孫子米非波設在哪裡？”洗巴回答王說：“唉！他還留在耶路撒冷，因為他心裡想：‘今日以色列家會把我祖父掃羅的王國歸還給我。’”
