Contextual Overview
1David asked, “Is there anyone remaining from the family of Saul I can show kindness to for Jonathan’s sake?” 2There was a servant of Saul’s family named Ziba. They summoned him to David, and the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?” 3So the king asked, “Is there anyone left of Saul’s family that I can show the kindness of God to?” 4The king asked him, “Where is he?” 5So King David had him brought from the house of Machir son of Ammiel in Lo-debar.6Mephibosheth son of Jonathan son of Saul came to David, fell facedown, and paid homage. David said, “Mephibosheth!” 7“Don’t be afraid,” David said to him, “since I intend to show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all your grandfather Saul’s fields, and you will always eat meals at my table.” 8Mephibosheth paid homage and said, “What is your servant that you take an interest in a dead dog like me?”
