Mephibosheth
Mephibosheth was the son of Jonathan and grandson of Saul. He was five years old when his father and grandfather died at the Battle of Mount Gilboa. After their deaths, Mephibosheth's nurse took him and fled in panic. In her haste, the child fell and was unable to walk.
Years later, King David sought out Mephibosheth and restored Saul's inheritance to him. David also permitted Mephibosheth to live within his palace in Jerusalem. Mephibosheth had a son named Micah.
