Now Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel; and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.
Forsoþe a sone feble in feet was to Jonathas, þe sone of Saul; forsoþe he was fyue yeer eld, whanne þe messanger cam fro Saul and Jonathas, fro Jezrael. Þerfor his nurse took hym, and fledde; and whanne sche hastide to fle, sche felde doun, and þe child was maad lame; and he hadde a name Myphibosech.
