2 Samuel 9:1-8
1Then DavidH1732 saidH559, “IsH3426 thereH3426 1anyoneH834 stillH5750 leftH3498 of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586, 2so that I could showH6213 him kindnessH2617 for Jonathan’sH3083 sakeH5668?” 2Now there was a servantH5650 of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586 whose nameH8034 was ZibaH6717, and they summonedH7121 him to DavidH1732; and the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, “Are you 3ZibaH6717?” And he saidH559, “I am your servantH5650.” 3Then the kingH4428 saidH559, “Is there noH657 oneH376 remainingH5750 of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586 to whom I could showH6213 the 4kindnessH2617 of GodH430?” And ZibaH6717 saidH559 to the kingH4428, “5There is stillH5750 a sonH1121 of JonathanH3083, one who is disabledH5223 in bothH7272 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 7messengers who broughtH3947 him from the houseH1004 of MachirH4353 the sonH1121 of AmmielH5988, from Lo-debarH3810. 68MephiboshethH4648, the sonH1121 of JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586, cameH935 to DavidH1732 and 9fellH5307 on his faceH6440 and prostratedH2331 himself. And DavidH1732 saidH559, “MephiboshethH4648.” And he saidH559, “HereH2009 is your servantH5650!” 7Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to him, “Do not beH3372 afraidH3372, for 10I will assuredlyH6213 showH6213 kindnessH2617 to you for the sakeH5668 of your fatherH1 JonathanH3083, and I 11will restoreH7725 to you allH3605 the 12landH7704 of your 13grandfatherH1 SaulH7586; and 14you yourselfH859 shall 15eatH398 at my tableH7979 regularlyH8548.” 8Again he prostratedH2331 himself, and saidH559, “WhatH4100 is your servantH5650, that you should beH6437 concernedH6437 aboutH413 16a deadH4191 dogH3611 likeH3644 me?”
