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)
