Thou Shalt Eat Bread at My Table — 2 Samuel 9:7–10

  
    And David said unto him,
Fear not; for I will surely show 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.
2SAM 9:7

    And he did obeisance, and said,
What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?
2SAM 9:8

    Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said unto him,
All that pertained to Saul and to all his house have I given unto thy master's son. And thou shalt till the land for him, thou, and thy sons, and thy servants; and thou shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master's son may have bread to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master's son shall eat bread alway at my table.
Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
