The king spared Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the oath before the Lord between David and Jonathan son of Saul.

The king spared Mephibosheth. He was the son of Jonathan and the grandson of Saul. David had made a promise in front of the Lord. He had promised to be kind to Jonathan and the family line of his father Saul.

But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Saul’s son Jonathan, because of the oath of the Lord that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.

Don’t ever cut off your loyalty to my family, not even when the LORD has cut off every one of David’s enemies from the face of the earth

When the two of them had made a covenant before the LORD, David stayed on at Horesh, but Jonathan went to his house.

You must be loyal to your servant, for you have made a covenant with your servant in the LORD’s name. If I am guilty, you yourself kill me! Why bother taking me to your father?”

Jonathan made a covenant with David, for he loved him as much as he did his own life.

Now Saul’s son Jonathan had a son who was crippled in both feet. He was five years old when the news about Saul and Jonathan arrived from Jezreel. His nurse picked him up and fled, but in her haste to get away, he fell and was injured. Mephibosheth was his name.

Jonathan said to David,“ Go in peace, for the two of us have sworn together in the name of the Lord saying,‘ The Lord will be between me and you and between my descendants and your descendants forever.’”( 21: 1) Then David got up and left, while Jonathan went back to the city.

You will cultivate the land for him– you and your sons and your servants. You will bring its produce and it will be food for your master’s grandson to eat. But Mephibosheth, your master’s grandson, will be a regular guest at my table.”( Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.)

Jonathan once again took an oath with David, because he loved him. In fact Jonathan loved him as much as he did his own life.

The king said to Ziba,“ Everything that was Mephibosheth’s now belongs to you.” Ziba replied,“ I bow before you. May I find favor in your sight, my lord the king.”

When he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, the king asked him,“ Why didn’t you go with me, Mephibosheth?”

David said to him,“ Don’t be afraid, because I will certainly extend kindness to you for the sake of Jonathan your father. You will be a regular guest at my table.”
