2 Samuel 9:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷ “Don’t be afraid,” David reassured him, “because I’m going to show gracious love to you in memory^[a] of your father Jonathan. I’m going to restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you’ll always have a place^[b] at my table!”

⁸ Mephibosheth^[c] bowed low again and asked, “Who am I, your servant, that you would pay attention to a dead dog like me?”

⁹ At this, the king called for Saul’s servant Ziba and told him, “I’m restoring to your master’s grandson everything that belonged to Saul and his family.
