The place
Lo-debar, also referred to as Debir, was a town located in Gilead, east of the Jordan River (Joshua 13:26). It is mentioned in the context of King David's kindness to Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan. After the deaths of Saul and Jonathan, Mephibosheth was living in Lo-debar under the care of Machir, son of Ammiel (2 Samuel 9:4-5). David summoned Mephibosheth from Lo-debar and showed him kindness for the sake of his father Jonathan (2 Samuel 9:5). Lo-debar is also mentioned in a sarcastic statement by King David, referring to it as a place of little significance (Amos 6:13).
