Biblical Context

David seeks out any remaining member of Saul's house to show kindness for Jonathan's sake. Ziba reports Jonathan's son Mephibosheth, who is lame.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the scene is not history but a map of consciousness. David is your higher self, the I AM, scanning the inner kingdom for the rightful recipient of grace. When he asks, Is there any left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake, he is inviting you to uncover every vestige of old kingship in your mind and bid it bow to mercy. The house of Saul represents outdated beliefs about self-worth; Mephibosheth, Jonathan's son who is lame, is the wounded part of you that has walked with crippled faith. Yet mercy comes from the king's decision to bestow the kindness of God unto him. This is not charity from without; it is your inner state shifting. When you accept covenant loyalty—your alignment with what Jonathan stands for, friendship with your higher self—you release grace into every corner that thought it was excluded. The imagination, rightly wielded, makes this inner scene your outer reality; kindness ceases to be a scarce gift and becomes your natural kingdom.
