2 SAMUEL 21:7 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the Lord’s oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.”
But the king spared Mephibosheth the son of Saul, because of the oath of the LORD that was between him and David's son Jonathan — David shows mercy to Mephibosheth, sparing him because of the covenant between David and Jonathan (1 Samuel 20). His oath-keeping honor demonstrates David's commitment to his own covenants, even when they conflict with the Gibeonites' claim. Mephibosheth, though of Saul's house, is protected by Jonathan's covenant with David.
