2 Samuel 9:4
简体中文
英文原文
David reaped the fruit of his kindness to Mephibosheth, for, when he fled from Absalom, Machir, the son of Ammiel, was one of those who were most liberal in providing him and his army with necessaries (marginal reference). According to 1 Chronicles 3:5, Ammiel (called inversely Eliam, 2 Samuel 11:3) was the father of Bath-sheba. If this be the same Ammiel, Machir would be Bath-sheba's brother. However, the name is not a very uncommon one (Numbers 13:12; 1 Chronicles 26:5, etc.).
Lo-debar - Evidently on the east of Jordan River, and in the neighborhood of Ish-bosheth's capital, Mahanaim 2 Samuel 17:27, but not identified by any modern traveler. Thought by some, not improbably, to be the same as Debir Joshua 13:26.

2 Samuel 9:6
简体中文
米非波设——又称米力巴力（Merib-baal；历代志上 9:40中大概出于抄写之误又作 Meri-baal）。这两个名字似乎意思相同：“波设”意为羞耻，相当于“巴力”；“米非”（驱散或消灭之意）相当于“米力”（相争之意）。试比较伊施波设与伊施巴力、耶路巴力与耶路比设。
他俯伏在地——是出于恐惧。大卫向一个失势之人的后裔显示如此宽厚，把他父亲的产业归还给他，这在米非波设看来几乎难以置信。
英文原文
Mephibosheth - Also called Merib-baal (and Meri-baal, probably by a clerical error, 1 Chronicles 9:40). The two names seem to have the same meaning: Bosheth, shame, being the equivalent for Baal, and Mephi (scattering or destroying, being equivalent to Merib (contending with). Compare Ish-bosheth and Esh-baal, Jerub-baal and Jerub-besheth.
He fell on his face - In fear. Such generosity to a fallen rival as David showed in restoring him his paternal property seemed to him scarcely credible.

2 Samuel 9:8
简体中文
米非波设言辞的谦卑，即使出自东方人之口，也令人心酸。这或许部分是他无可奈何的瘸腿、以及他一生其他不幸遭遇的结果。
死狗——东方的野狗至今仍在各城大量出没，天然就是被人蔑视和厌恶的对象。
英文原文
Mephibosheth's humility of expression, even in the mouth of an Oriental, is painful. It was perhaps in part the result of his helpless lameness, and of the other misfortunes of his life.
A dead dog - The wild dogs of the East, which still abound in every town, are the natural objects of contempt and dislike.

2 Samuel 9:9
简体中文
扫罗的仆人——约瑟夫斯称他为扫罗的一个获释奴。这对于洗巴地位的影响仅在于：被没收土地的出产，他不必再交给大卫，而是要交给米非波设。
英文原文
Saul's servant - Josephus calls him one of Saul's freedmen. The difference this would make in Ziba's position would only be that instead of paying in the fruits of the confiscated land to David, he would have to pay them to Mephiboseth.

2 Samuel 9:10

十五个儿子……——见撒母耳记下 19:17及页边参注。
英文原文
Fifteen sons ... - See 2 Samuel 19:17, marginal reference.
11
2 Samuel 9:11
简体中文
王说——希伯来原文并无插入这些字的依据。原文的话是：“于是米非波设如王的儿子中的一位一样，常在我的席上吃饭。”由此可知，叙述者正是大卫本人。
英文原文
Said the king - There is nothing in the Hebrew to warrant the insertion of these words. The words are: "So Mephibosheth ate at my table as one of the king's sons." Only it follows that the narrator is David himself.
12
2 Samuel 9:12
简体中文
扫罗死时，米非波设五岁。大卫登以色列王位时，他可能十三岁。大卫作全以色列王的第八年，他该是二十一岁。此时他已有一子，表明我们此时约在大卫作王的第十年。
米迦——或作米该雅（Micah）；据我们所知，他是米非波设的独生子，且后裔众多（见页边参注）。
英文原文
Mephibosheth was five years old at Saul's death. He may have been thirteen at David's accession to the throne of Israel. In the eighth year of David's reign over all Israel he would have been twenty-one. His having a son at this time indicates that we are about the 10th year of David's reign.
Micha - Or Micah; who, as far as we know, was Mephibosheth's only son, and had a numerous posterity (marginal references).
大卫从他对米非波设所施的恩慈收获了果实：当他逃避押沙龙时，亚米利的儿子玛吉是最慷慨地供应他和他的军队所需物品的人之一（页边参注）。按照历代志上 3:5，亚米利（次序倒过来称为以连，撒母耳记下 11:3）是拔示巴的父亲。倘若这是同一位亚米利，玛吉便是拔示巴的兄弟。不过这个名字并非罕见（民数记 13:12；历代志上 26:5等）。
罗底巴——显然位于约旦河以东、伊施波设的京城玛哈念附近（撒母耳记下 17:27），但尚未被任何现代旅行家考定其址。有人认为它很可能就是约书亚记 13:26中的底璧。
