Commentary on 2 Samuel 9:12

Theological / Devotional

Had a young son. This statement indicates that Mephibosheth was already grown and that a number of years had passed since the death of his father and David’s accession to the throne, inasmuch as Mephibosheth was only five years of age when Jonathan died (ch. 4:4). As far as our information goes, Mephibosheth had only one son, Micah, but Micah’s posterity was numerous (1 Chron. 8:35-40 ; 9:40-44).
