New King James Version

2 Samuel 9:5-8 New King James Version (NKJV)

5. Then King David sent and brought him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo Debar.

6. Now when Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, had come to David, he fell on his face and prostrated himself. Then David said, “Mephibosheth?”And he answered, “Here is your servant!”

7. So David said to him, “Do not fear, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather; and you shall eat bread at my table continually.”

8. Then he bowed himself, and said, “What is your servant, that you should look upon such a dead dog as I?”
