Y se inclinó profundamente y dijo: '¿Qué es tu siervo, para que muestres bondad a alguien tan inútil como un perro muerto como yo?'

📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative of 2 Samuel, King David is showing kindness to Mephibosheth, the son of his late friend Jonathan and grandson of Saul, as a fulfillment of his covenant loyalty to Jonathan's family. This occurs during David's reign when he is seeking out Saul's descendants to bless them, despite the potential political risks. In ancient Near Eastern culture, referring to oneself as a "dead dog" was a way to express extreme humility and a sense of utter worthlessness, highlighting Mephibosheth's awareness of his vulnerable position.
