1. Ziba (personal name) — A proper noun referring to Ziba (tsiva), the servant of Saul's household who became steward of Mephibosheth's estate; appears exclusively in the David-Mephibosheth narratives (2 Sam 9:2-12; 16:1-4; 19:17,29). All three clusters are syntactic variants of the same personal name: bare and prepositional 'Ziba/Tsiva/to Ziba' (S129947), conjunctive 'and Tsiva' (S129948), and conjunctive+prepositional 'and to Ziba' (S129950). Multilingual renderings confirm a single referent: 'सीबा' (hin), 'صيبا' (arb), '시바' (kor), 'Siba' (swa), 'Siba/Tsibá' (spa). The prefixed prepositions (le-, waw-) are syntactic particles, not meaning-bearing distinctions. 16×
