Key Passages
And Jonathan son of Saul had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the report about Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel. His nurse picked him up and fled, but as she was hurrying to escape, he fell and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.
So the king asked, “Is there anyone left of Saul’s family to whom I can show the kindness of God?”Ziba answered, “There is still Jonathan’s son, who is lame in both feet.”
Has not My hand made all these things?And so they came into being,”declares the LORD.“This is the one I will esteem:he who is humble and contrite in spirit,who trembles at My word.
