9:4 Lo-debar was a small town in northern Transjordan (the area east of the Jordan), close to Mahanaim, the capital city of Mephibosheth’s late uncle, Ishbosheth. The town was also near Jabesh-gilead, where Saul first made a name for himself (1 Sam 11:1-13). • Makir son of Ammiel, Mephibosheth’s host, later supported David during Absalom’s revolt (2 Sam 17:27).
