2 Samuel 9:7-9

Living Bible

⁷ But David said, “Don’t be afraid! I’ve asked you to come so that I can be kind to you because of my vow to your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all the land of your grandfather Saul, and you shall live here at the palace!”

⁸ Mephibosheth fell to the ground before the king. “Should the king show kindness to a dead dog like me?” he exclaimed.

⁹ Then the king summoned Saul’s servant Ziba. “I have given your master’s grandson everything that belonged to Saul and his family,” he said.
