"So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king’s table; and was lame on both his feet."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem,.... Either in some apartments in the king's palace, or in some house in the city provided for him; for he returned not to Lodebar, nor
to any mansion house upon the estate, of Saul restored unto him: for he did eat continually at the king's table; to which he was invited, and he accepted of: and was lame on both his feet; or "though" he was (n), yet this was no objection to David, he admitted him notwithstanding his infirmity; nor any obstruction to Mephibosheth, who found ways and means to be carried to the king's table daily.
