David is indeed treating Jonathan\u2019s crippled son like one of his own sons, \u201ckeeping faith\u201d or \u201cshowing kindness\u201d to the offspring of his dead comrade, as he had pledged. He surely means his benefaction to be publicly perceived. At the same time, it is clearly in David\u2019s interest to keep the only conceivable Saulide pretender to the throne close at hand, under easy scrutiny. Mephibosheth\u2019s condition is ostensibly that of an unofficially adopted son, but with an uneasy suspicion that it is really a kind of luxurious house arrest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From: Robert Alter, <em>The Hebrew Bible<\/em>, vol. 2: Prophets, W.
