And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan's sake?
Clarke's 2-samuel 9:1 Bible Commentary
Is there yet any that is left - David recollecting the covenant made with his friend Jonathan, now inquires after his family. It is supposed that political considerations prevented him from doing this sooner. Reasons of state often destroy all the charities of life.
Wesley's 2-samuel 9:1 Bible Commentary
9:1 Of Saul - He saith not of the house of Jonathan, for he knew not of any son he had left, and therefore thought his kindness and obligation was to pass to the next of his kindred. As for Mephibosheth, he was very young and obscure, and possibly concealed by his friends, lest David should cut him off, as hath been usual among princes.
