5 So King David (beloved) had him brought from the house of Machir (sold) son of Ammiel (my kinsman is God) in Lo-debar (nothing).

6 And when Mephibosheth (Merib-baal) son of Jonathan (YHWH has given), the son of Saul (desired), came to David (beloved), he fell facedown in reverence. Then David said, “Mephibosheth (exterminating the idol)!” “I am your servant,” he replied.

7 “Do not be afraid,” said David (beloved), “for surely I will show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan (YHWH has given). I will restore to you all the land of your grandfather Saul (desired), and you will always eat at my table.”
