File:David and Mephibosheth - the lame prince.jpg

Summary
When David had subdued all the adversaries of Israel, he began to think of the family of Jonathan, and discovered that Mephibosheth, Jonathan's lame son, was residing in the house of Machir. Thither he sent royal messengers, and brought him and his infant son to Jerusalem, where he ever afterwards resided (2 Samuel 9:1).
