The Bible story

King David asked, "Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him?" Ziba told him that Jonathan had a son "which is lame on his feet," living in Lo-debar. David fetched Mephibosheth, said to him, "Fear not," restored to him all the land of Saul, and Mephibosheth did eat bread at the king's table "as one of the king's sons." Read the whole story in 2 Samuel 9:1–13 (KJV).

Memory verse: "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." (2 Samuel 9:7, KJV). It is printed on every level.
