2 Samuel 9:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ Then Jonathan's son Mephibosheth, grandson of Saul, came to David. He bent his body down to the ground to respect David.

David said, ‘Mephibosheth!’

Mephibosheth replied, ‘Yes, I am your servant.’

⁷ David said to him, ‘Do not be afraid. I will be kind to you because your father Jonathan was my friend. I will give back to you all the land which belonged to your grandfather, Saul. You will always be able to eat here with me.’

⁸ Mephibosheth bent his body low. He said, ‘I am your servant, no better than a dead dog. I do not deserve that you should be so kind to me.’
