2 Samuel 9:6-8 ▼

6 When Mephibosheth, Jonathan's son and a grandson of Saul, approached David, he threw himself on his face out of respect. |Mephibosheth!| David said as he greeted him. |Hello! I am your servant,| he replied.

7 |Don't be afraid,| David reassured him, |because I'm going to show gracious love to you in memory 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 at my table!|

8 Mephibosheth bowed low again and asked, |Who am I, your servant, that you would pay attention to a dead dog like me?|
