In the book of 2 Samuel, chapter 8, David wins victory after victory, gaining possession and control over all of the lands of Israel.
In chapter 9, he inquired as to anyone of Saul's family who was still alive. He wanted to show kindness, for Saul's son's Jonathan.
He found Mephibosheth. He was a son of Jonathan, and he was a cripple.
King David sent for him, and gave him all of the lands Saul had previously owned as well as an open invitation for eating at his table. Mephibosheth bowed and told David he was not worthy, but David disagreed and told him that he promised the Lord he would take care of Jonathan's descendants.
And so it happened.
