He replied, "I am your servant." 3 Then the king asked, "Is there no one still alive from the house of Saul to whom I can show God's kindness?" Ziba answered the king, "There is still a son of Jonathan; he is lame in both feet." 4 The king asked, "Where is he?" Ziba answered, "He is in the house of Machir, son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar." 5 So King David sent for him and brought him from the house of Machir, son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar. 6 When Mephibosheth, son of Jonathan and grandson of Saul, came to David, he bowed down to pay him honor.

I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table."
