Who Is Mephibosheth in the Bible?

Born into riches, position, and power, Mephibosheth stood to inherit a kingdom. Instead, he lived impoverished, disabled, and dependent on others. How had his life been altered so significantly? His grandfather was Saul, the first king of Israel. His father was Jonathon, the heir to Saul’s throne, making Mephibosheth the likely eventual heir. But God rejected him because of Saul’s unfaithfulness and pride (1 Samuel 15:26). Soon after God renounced Saul’s leadership, Saul grew suspicious of oth

What Should I Never Say to Someone Who Is Grieving?

Bible Verses for Those Struggling with Suicide

5 Beautiful Prayers for Peace

Its songs can be heard above and below the ocean. These sounds are used to communicate with other whales. The name beluga comes from the Russian word bielo, which means “white.”
