How many Mephibosheths were there in the Bible?
Two. The son of Jonathan and the son of Saul.
Who was prince Jonathan from the bible?
Jonathan was the son of the first king of Israel, Saul.
How old is Jonathan in 1 Samuel 14?
Jonathan was Davids friend, son of Saul.
In 2 Samuel 21 7-9 why wasn't Jonathan's son Mephibosheth executed at this time too?
King David saved him in recognition of King David's love and friendship with Jonathan. 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. See 1 Samuel, chapter 20 for the source of this love and oath. 16 : So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the LORD even require it at the hand of David's enemies. 17 : And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
Who was King Paul in the Bible?
There was no King Paul. But there was Paul the Apostle. His name was also Saul. Now there was a Jewish King named Saul, perhaps that's whom you mean. He was the King that ruled over Israel for 40 years, immediately preceeding the reign of King David. The last years of his life he lost God's blessing on his reign, God then picked David to be the next King. Saul was jealous of how God was with David, and so sought to have him killed on numerous occasions. Saul and his son Jonathan (who was very close friends with David before David was king) were both killed in a battle that saw King Saul's forces defeated by the Phillistines.
