Outline of Biblical Usage [?]

Mephibosheth = "exterminating the idol"
1. [son]¹ of Saul and son of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, Saul's concubine; he and his brother Armoni were among the 7 victims surrendered by David to the Gibeonites to avert a famine
2. son of Jonathan and grandson of Saul
  1. also 'Merib-baal'

1. Edited by BLB [An error was made in the original document incorrectly stating "grandson" instead of "son." There were two Mephibosheth's: one was Saul's son and one was Saul's grandson. (2Sa 21:7-8).]
