2 Samuel 9:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ When Mephibosheth, the son of Saul’s son Jonathan, came to David, he bowed facedown to the ground.

David said, “Mephibosheth?” He said, “I am.”

⁷ David said to him, “Do not be afraid. I will certainly show kindness to you because of Jonathan, your father. I will return to you all the land of your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat bread at my table.”

⁸ He bowed down and said, “What is your servant that you have paid attention to a dead dog like me?”
