Mephibosheth (Man living at the time of United Monarchy)
Mephibosheth was Jonathan's son, crippled in both feet after his nurse dropped him while fleeing news of Saul and Jonathan's deaths, and David sought him out years later to show him kindness for Jonathan's sake, restoring his grandfather Saul's land and giving him a permanent place at the king's own table.

During Absalom's rebellion a servant falsely accused Mephibosheth of disloyalty, and though David initially believed the accusation, Mephibosheth's evident grief and his choice not to groom himself during David's exile suggest the charge was unjust.
