^(C1)Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, came to David and ^(C2)fell on his face and prostrated himself. And David said, "Mephibosheth." And he said, "Here is your servant!"

Then David said to him, "Do not be afraid, for ^(C1)I will assuredly show kindness to you for the sake of your father Jonathan, and I ^(C2)will restore to you all the ^(F1)land of your ^(F2)grandfather Saul; and ^(C3)you yourself shall ^(F3)eat at my table regularly."

Again he prostrated himself, and said, "What is your servant, that you should be concerned about ^(C1)a dead dog like me?"

Then the king summoned Saul's servant Ziba and said to him, "^(C1)Everything that belonged to Saul and to all his house I have given to your master's ^(F1)grandson.

"You and your sons and your servants shall cultivate the land for him, and you shall bring in the produce so that your master's grandson will have food ^(F1)to eat; nevertheless ^(C1)Mephibosheth, your master's grandson, ^(C2)shall ^(F2)eat at my table regularly." Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
