The son of Jonathan was Merib-baal, and Merib-baal became the father of Micah.After David became king, he searched for any surviving descendants of Saul or Jonathan, so he could show them kindness. He found only one, a crippled son of Jonathan. Yet here we see another son of Jonathan, which in the following verses goes on to become an entire lineage.
Where was this man when David went searching? Did he just find one who was handy, and stop looking after that? Were they in hiding for fear of David's wrath? Where did this "new" line come from?
