What Does 1 Chronicles 8:34 Mean?
Jonathan's son Meribbaal -- known elsewhere as Mephibosheth -- continues the family, and he in turn fathered Micah. The line survives even after Saul's house loses the throne.
Meribbaal was the lame son whom King David, for love of Jonathan, welcomed to his own table. That kindness echoes the covenant love between two friends. It pictures a deeper grace: the King who seeks out the broken and the disinherited and seats them, undeserving, as honored guests.
