2 Samuel 16:3

King James Version (KJV)
And the king said, And where is thy master’s son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: for he said, To day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.
Adam Clarke
Bible Commentary

To-day shall the house of Israel - What a base wretch was Ziba! and how unfounded was this accusation against the peaceable, loyal and innocent Mephibosheth!

Notes on the Whole Bible

Thy master‘s son - Meaning Saul‘s grandson 2 Samuel 9:6. David asks the question, evidently hurt at the apparent ingratitude of Mephibosheth. It is impossible to say whether Mephibosheth was quite guiltless or not. If 2 Samuel 16:11 may contain David‘s confession of his present hasty judgment 2 Samuel 16:4 in the matter.

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