2 Samuel 9:13

13 Y moraba Mephi-boseth en Jerusalem, porque comía siempre á la mesa del rey; y era cojo de ambos pies.

2 Samuel 9:13 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 9:13

So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem
Either in some apartments in the king's palace, or in some house in the city provided for him; for he returned not to Lodebar, nor to any mansion house upon the estate, of Saul restored unto him:

for he did eat continually at the king's table;
to which he was invited, and he accepted of:

and was lame on both his feet;
or "though" he was ^F14, yet this was no objection to David, he admitted him notwithstanding his infirmity; nor any obstruction to Mephibosheth, who found ways and means to be carried to the king's table daily.
