Gill's Notes on the Bible
But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul,.... As they did not name particular persons, only required seven sons, it was at the option of the king what sons to deliver to them, and therefore kept back Mephibosheth, who is thus described, to distinguish him from a son of Saul's of the same name, after mentioned:
because of the Lord's oath that [was] between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul; not merely or only out of affection to Mephibosheth, but because of the oath, that he might not be guilty of the same crime Saul was in slaying the Gibeonites.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The Lordâs oath - The calamity brought upon Israel by Saulâs breach of the oath to the Gibeonites would make David doubly careful in the matter of his own oath to Jonathan.
