Lesser-Known Bible Characters

Grace lifts the broken and seats them with royalty. Mephibosheth was crippled, forgotten, and hiding in fear – yet David sought him out to show covenant kindness. His story mirrors the gospel: the King invites the undeserving to His table, not because of merit but because of grace.

And he did eat continually at the king’s table. (2 Samuel 9:13)

Fear not… I will surely shew thee kindness. (2 Samuel 9:7)

He shall eat at my table, as one of the king’s sons. (2 Samuel 9:11)

Christian Application
