You and your sons and servants are to work the ground for him and bring in the harvest, so that your master’s grandson may have food to eat. But Mephibosheth, your master’s grandson, is always to eat at my table.” Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

Ziba's household is large, with fifteen sons and twenty servants, so David assigns them to farm Saul's restored land and supply Mephibosheth, Jonathan's lame son, with food.
