2 Samuel 9:1-7

1Then DavidH1732H3588 askedH559, “Is thereH3426H5750 anyone leftH3498 from the houseH1004 of SaulH7586 to whomH5973 I can showH6213 kindnessH2617 for the sakeH5668 of JonathanH3083?”

2And there was a servantH5650 of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586 namedH8034 ZibaH6717. They summonedH7121 him toH413 DavidH1732, and the kingH4428 inquiredH559H413, “Are youH859 ZibaH6717?”

“I am your servantH5650,” he repliedH559.

3So the kingH4428H657 askedH559, “Is there anyoneH376 leftH5750 of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586 to whomH5973 I can showH6213 the kindnessH2617 of GodH430?”

ZibaH6717 answeredH559, “There is stillH5750 Jonathan’sH3083 sonH1121, who is lameH5223 in both feetH7272.”

4“WhereH375 is heH1931?” repliedH559 the kingH4428.

And ZibaH6717H413 saidH559, “IndeedH2009, heH1931 is in Lo-debarH3810 at the houseH1004 of MachirH4353 sonH1121 of AmmielH5988.”

So KingH4428 DavidH1732 had him broughtH3947 from the houseH1004 of MachirH4353 sonH1121 of AmmielH5988 in Lo-debarH3810. 6And when MephiboshethH46481 sonH1121 of JonathanH3083, the sonH1121 of SaulH7586, cameH935 toH413 DavidH1732, he fell facedownH5307H5921H6440 in reverenceH7812.

Then DavidH1732 saidH559, “MephiboshethH4648!”

“I am your servantH5650,” he repliedH559H2009.

7“Do notH408 be afraidH3372,” saidH559 DavidH1732, “forH3588 surely I will showH6213 youH5973 kindnessH2617 for the sakeH5668 of your fatherH1 JonathanH3083. I will restoreH7725 to you allH3605 the landH7704 of your grandfatherH1 SaulH7586, and youH859 will alwaysH8548 eatH398H3899 atH5921 my tableH7979.”
