Crippled By A Fall Restored By A Covenant

Both Saul and Jonathan were killed in battle. David did not forget his covenant with Jonathan and asked is there anyone left from the house of Jonathan who I may honor?

2 Sam.4:4 Mephibosheth was 5 years old, when Saul his grandfather and Jonathan his father had died in battle. His nurse took Mephibosheth and fled. As she made haste to flee, Mephibosheth fell and became lame. Mephibosheth means man of shame.

David kept true to his covenant of kindness and friendship. 2 Sam 9:3-13 David showed mercy to Mephibosheth. A prototype of our Lord who redeems, restores, and returns us to our Father’s table in peace. Lo Debar means no pasture, no communication, land of nothing!

David’s kindness must have overwhelmed any fear Mephibosheth may have had of David who was in the position his family was at one time as king. Yet David did not treat Mephibosheth as a prisoner of war but was faithful to keep his covenant he made with Jonathan.

Mephibosheth, man of shame was in Lo Debar- land of nothing! But the Lord raised him up to sit at the Kings table for the rest of his life. He was provided for!

We came in sin and emptiness and received the gift of salvation and entered a covenant relationship with Jesus!

We have been invited to sit at His table even in the presence of our enemies!
