2 Samuel 9:1-7

1Then David said, “Is there 1anyone still left of the house of Saul, 2so that I could show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?”

2Now there was a servant of the house of Saul whose name was Ziba, and they summoned him to David; and the king said to him, “Are you 3Ziba?” And he said, “I am your servant.”

3Then the king said, “Is there no one remaining of the house of Saul to whom I could show the 4kindness of God?” And Ziba said to the king, “5There is still a son of Jonathan, one who is disabled in both feet.”

4So the king said to him, “Where is he?” And Ziba said to the king, “Behold, he is 6in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar.”

5Then King David sent 7messengers who brought him from the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar.

6 8Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, came to David and 9fell on his face and prostrated himself. And David said, “Mephibosheth.” And he said, “Here is your servant!”

7Then David said to him, “Do not be afraid, for 10I will assuredly show kindness to you for the sake of your father Jonathan, and I 11will restore to you all the 12land of your 13grandfather Saul; and 14you yourself shall 15eat at my table regularly.”
