2 Samuel 9:1-8
1And DavidH1732 saidH559, Is there yetH3426 any that is leftH3498 of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586, that I may shewH6213 him kindnessH2617 for Jonathan’sH3083 sake? 2And there was of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586 a servantH5650 whose nameH8034 was ZibaH6717. And when they had calledH7121 him unto DavidH1732, the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, Art thou ZibaH6717? And he saidH559, Thy servantH5650 is he. 3And the kingH4428 saidH559, Is there notH657 yet anyH376 of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586, that I may shewH6213 the kindnessH2617 of GodH430 unto him? And ZibaH6717 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, JonathanH3083 hath yet a sonH1121, which is lameH5223 on his feetH7272. 4And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, WhereH375 is he? And ZibaH6717 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, Behold, he is in the houseH1004 of MachirH4353, the sonH1121 of AmmielH5988, in Lo–debarH3810.
5Then kingH4428 DavidH1732 sentH7971, and fetchedH3947 him out of the houseH1004 of MachirH4353, the sonH1121 of AmmielH5988, from Lo–debarH3810. 6Now when MephiboshethH4648, the sonH1121 of JonathanH3083, the sonH1121 of SaulH7586, was comeH935 unto DavidH1732, he fellH5307 on his faceH6440, and did reverenceH7812. And DavidH1732 saidH559, MephiboshethH4648. And he answeredH559, Behold thy servantH5650!1
7And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto him, FearH3372 not: for I will surelyH6213 shewH6213 thee kindnessH2617 for JonathanH3083 thy father’sH1 sake, and will restoreH7725 thee all the landH7704 of SaulH7586 thy fatherH1; and thou shalt eatH398 breadH3899 at my tableH7979 continuallyH8548. 8And he bowedH7812 himself, and saidH559, What is thy servantH5650, that thou shouldest lookH6437 upon such a deadH4191 dogH3611 as I am?
