Mephibosheth
I have always heard it pronounced Mi - fib - i -sheth.
Rizpah was Mephibosheth's mother.
Mephibosheth was disabled in both feet, making him unable to walk normally.
2 Samuel 9:13 says Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem.
Mephibosheth was the son of Jonathan, who was the son of King Saul, and his mother's name was not specifically mentioned in the Bible.
Mephibosheth was also known as Meribaal because Meribaal means "the one who contends with Baal," while Mephibosheth means "exterminating the idol." The name change was likely done to distance him from any association with the pagan god Baal.
One who scatters shame
His mother's name was 'Rizpah'
Oh, what a lovely question! Mephibosheth was just a young boy of five years old when King David sent for him. It's heartwarming to think about the kindness and care David showed towards Mephibosheth, isn't it? Just like how we can show kindness and care to those around us every day.
One was Mephibosheth, another was Merib-baal.
Yes, according to Scripture.... 2 Samuel 9:12 (King James Version) And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha.

Mephibosheth was the son of Jonathan. He was injured when his nurse dropped him. The story of David's kindness to Mephibosheth is found in II Samuel 9:
