And he fell on his face and did obeisance. David said, “Mephibosheth,” and he said, “I am ready to serve you.”[a] 7 Then David said to him, “Don’t be afraid, for I will certainly show[b] loyal love to you for the sake of Jonathan your father, and I will restore to you all the lands of Saul your father. And you shall always eat food at my table.”
