In the midst of Second Samuel 9 and David's actions toward Jonathan's son, we see something interesting, not in the fact that Jonathan's son was taken care of, that is kind of expected, understanding David's character. But what I've noticed in this chapter is what Mephibosheth named his son. Names often tell what the parent is thinking and feeling or what they believe. And Micah means who is like God. For a man who was crippled, who was part of a royal family but is not now, for him to name his son, who is like God, shows me that Mephibosheth must have had great faith like his father.
