And he answered: 'Behold thy servant!' 7 And David said unto him: 'Fear not; for I will surely show thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.' 8 And he bowed down, and said: 'What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?' 2 Samuel 9:6-8, JPS Tanakh 1917.
