2 Samuel 9:6-8

Christian Standard Bible

⁶ Mephibosheth son of Jonathan son of Saul came to David, fell facedown, and paid homage. David said, “Mephibosheth!”

“I am your servant,” he replied.

⁷ “Don’t be afraid,” David said to him, “since I intend to show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all your grandfather Saul’s fields, and you will always eat meals at my table.”^(A)

⁸ Mephibosheth paid homage and said, “What is your servant that you take an interest in a dead dog^(B) like me?”
