And please remember me and do me a favor when things go well for you. Mention me to Pharaoh, so he might let me out of this place.
Within three days Pharaoh will lift you up and restore you to your position as his chief cup-bearer.

One day David asked, “Is anyone in Saul’s family still alive—anyone to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?”
“Be kind to the sons of Barzillai of Gilead. Make them permanent guests at your table, for they took care of me when I fled from your brother Absalom.
Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”

“Now swear to me by the Lord that you will be kind to me and my family since I have helped you. Give me some guarantee that
don’t let this be a blemish on your record. Then your conscience won’t have to bear the staggering burden of needless bloodshed and vengeance. And when the Lord has done these great things for you, please remember me, your servant!”
