look at 2 Samuel 4:4 and then again 2 Samuel 9. Its about a guy named Mephiboseth. He was a son of Jonathan. He was taken by a servent of Jonathan. His servant dropped Mephiboseth. Time past and David summoned him. Mephiboseth wondered why he was calling him. Usually during that time, it was tradition to kill off the past kings line. The past King was Saul, so Mephiboseth was in that line. He thought David was going to kill him. David really wanted to show kindness to him, because of the kindness Jonathan (Mephiboseth father) showed to him. So David brought him to the table. Where he didn't belong.
