The story of Mephibosheth takes place after David's war with Saul. God has blessed David , and David wants to show the same kindness to a member of Saul's family. Only one remains, and David asks that Mephibosheth be brought before him. Because Mephibosheth's feet are hurt, David tells him that he will provide for him and gives him a man named Ziba to help him. Ziba, his sons, and his servants all work for Mephibosheth since he can't do any work because of his feet. By giving Mephibosheth a good life, David showed himself as a Messianic figure, or a symbolic Christ-figure.
I can relate to this story because of how much God provides for me. He has blessed me and my family so much, and I am very thankful to Him because of that.
