    1 David asked, "Is there anyone still left from the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan's sake?"

    2 Now there was a servant from Saul's household named Ziba. They summoned him to David, and the king said to him, "Are you Ziba?" 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.

    7 "Don’t be afraid," David said to him, "for I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table."
