2 Samuel 9:3-7

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

³ So the king asked, ‘Is there anyone left of Saul’s family that I can show the kindness of God to? ’

Ziba said to the king, ‘There is still Jonathan’s son who was injured in both feet.’^(A)

⁴ The king asked him, ‘Where is he? ’

Ziba answered the king, ‘You’ll find him in Lo-debar at the house of Machir son of Ammiel.’ ⁵ So King David had him brought from the house of Machir son of Ammiel in Lo-debar.

⁶ Mephibosheth son of Jonathan son of Saul came to David, fell face down, 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.’^(B)
