Why "Lodebar?" When David, the king of Israel, in II Samuel chapter 9, asked if there were anyone remaining of the household of Saul, he was told that Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, was alive and living in Lodebar. Mephibosheth's situation was similar to modern Syrian refugees--he was a refugee from war; he was lame; he was destitute, he was dependent on others…but eventually he received mercy.
