2 Samuel 9:6

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul,.... For that was his name, though sometimes called Meribbaal, 1Ch 8:34; and this was his relation to Jonathan and Saul, the son of the one, and grandson of the other:was come unto David; to his court and palace in Jerusalem, being thither brought; for he could not go of himself, being lame:he fell on his face, and did reverence; to him as a king, in a civil way, and in the best manner he could, considering that he was lame on his feet:and David said, Mephibosheth; is it he?

having learnt what his name was, this he expressed with great vehemency and affection, as glad that he had found one of Jonathan's posterity: andhe answered, behold thy servant!
