mephibosheth
Mephibosheth is a biblical name that refers to a character from the Old Testament, specifically in the books of Samuel. He was the son of Jonathan, the grandson of King Saul, and the rightful heir to the throne of Israel. However, due to political struggles and the death of his father and grandfather in battle, Mephibosheth became disabled and was left in a vulnerable position.

Mephibosheth
According to the Books of Samuel of the Tanakh, Mephibosheth or Merib-baal is the son of Jonathan, and grandson of King Saul,. According to the biblical narrative, Mephibosheth was five years old when both his father and grandfather died at the Battle of Mount Gilboa. When the report about the deaths of Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel, Mephibosheth’s nurse took him and fled in panic. In her haste, the child had fallen, or been dropped upon fleeing. Since then, he was unable to walk. For some years thereafter, Mephibosheth lived in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel at Lo-debar in the land of Gilead. King David learned this from Ziba, a former servant in Saul’s house. In order to fulfill his covenant with Jonathan, David wished to exercise loving-kindness toward anyone “left over of the house of Saul.”
