And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.

As chroym eh eh-hene, as dooyrt eh, Cre ta dty harvaant, dy jinnagh oo jeeaghyn orrym's nagh vel veg share na moddey marroo?

And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?

Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master's son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master's son shall eat bread alway at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
