2 Samuel 9:1-8
1Then DavidH1732 saidH559, “Is thereH3426 yetH5750 1anyoneH834 leftH3498 of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586, 2that I may showH6213 him kindnessH2617 for Jonathan’sH3083 sakeH5668?” 2Now there was a servantH5650 of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586 whose nameH8034 was ZibaH6717, and they calledH7121 him to DavidH1732; and the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, “Are you 3ZibaH6717?” And he saidH559, “I am your servantH5650.” 3The kingH4428 saidH559, “Is thereH657 not yetH5750 anyoneH376 of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586 to whom I may showH6213 the 4kindnessH2617 of GodH430?” And ZibaH6717 saidH559 to the kingH4428, “5There is stillH5750 a sonH1121 of JonathanH3083 who is crippledH5223 in both feetH7272.” 4So the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, “WhereH375 is he?” And ZibaH6717 saidH559 to the kingH4428, “BeholdH2009, he is 6in the houseH1004 of MachirH4353 the sonH1121 of AmmielH5988 in Lo-debarH3810.” 5Then KingH4428 DavidH1732 sentH7971 and broughtH3947 him from the houseH1004 of MachirH4353 the sonH1121 of AmmielH5988, from Lo-debarH3810. 67MephiboshethH4648, the sonH1121 of JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586, cameH935 to DavidH1732 and 8fellH5307 on his faceH6440 and prostratedH7812 himself. And DavidH1732 saidH559, “MephiboshethH4648.” And he saidH559, “HereH2009 is your servantH5650!” 7DavidH1732 saidH559 to him, “Do not fearH3372, for 9I will surelyH6213 showH6213 kindnessH2617 to you for the sakeH5668 of your fatherH1 JonathanH3083, and 10will restoreH7725 to you allH3605 the 11landH7704 of your 12grandfatherH1 SaulH7586; and 13you shall 14eatH398 at my tableH7979 regularlyH8548.” 8Again he prostratedH7812 himself and saidH559, “WhatH4100 is your servantH5650, that you should regardH6437 15a deadH4191 dogH3611 likeH3644 me?”
