from Chains to Godliness · host Jim & Jody Carmichael

King David seeks out any surviving descendants of Jonathan in order to show kindness for Jonathan's sake. He discovers Mephibosheth, Jonathan's crippled son, living in obscurity and fear. Instead of treating him as a political threat, David restores to him all the land that belonged to Saul and grants him the privilege of eating continually at the king's table. The chapter illustrates grace, mercy, loyalty, humility, restoration, and the faithfulness of keeping one's promises.
