This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





The king spared Mephibosheth; for the Gibeonites desiring only such a number, without designing the persons, it was at David’s choice whom to spare. Or, he prevailed with the Gibeonites that they did not demand him; and with the Lord, that he might not be one of those who were devoted to destruction.



The son of Jonathan: this is expressly added, to distinguish him from the other Mephibosheth, 2Sa_21:8.
