2 Samuel 9:7-9

New Century Version

⁷ David said to him, “Don’t be afraid. I will be kind to you for your father Jonathan’s sake. I will give you back all the land of your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.”

⁸ Mephibosheth bowed to David again and said, “You are being very kind to me, your servant! And I am no better than a dead dog!”

⁹ Then King David called Saul’s servant Ziba. David said to him, “I have given your master’s grandson everything that belonged to Saul and his family.
