David Keeps His Promise: Mephibosheth Welcomed — High School Lesson

Free high school Sunday school lesson on 2 Samuel 5:1–5 and 9:1–13. This reviewed nine-page PDF includes two pages of volunteer background, a passage guide, timed plan, reproducible source study, teacher key, family page, and separate claim check.

Students distinguish David’s anointing at Hebron from his later covenant kindness to Jonathan’s son. They examine Mephibosheth’s restored family land, Ziba’s assigned farm work, continuing royal table access, son Micha, and disability that the text never says was healed. The full 2 Samuel 9:1 KJV memory verse replaces the placeholder. The claim check separates what these passages say from later Scripture and unsupported disability or gospel analogies.
