Mephibosheth

Jonathan's disabled son — David showed him kindness for his father's sake

About

Son of Jonathan and grandson of Saul. He was five years old when news came that Saul and Jonathan were dead, and his nurse dropped him while fleeing, leaving him permanently lame (2 Samuel 4:4). David sought him out and showed him kindness for Jonathan's sake — restoring Saul's land to him and giving him a permanent seat at the king's table (2 Samuel 9). A beautiful picture of undeserved grace.
