מְפִיבֹשֶׁת Mᵉphîybôsheth · H4648 · Mephibosheth
Alternate name for the same individual; Meri-baal (meaning 'contender of Baal' or 'my master contends') and Mephibosheth (meaning 'from the mouth of shame' or 'dispeller of shame') both refer to the son of Jonathan and grandson of Saul. The name Mephibosheth appears to be a later modification replacing the theophoric element 'Baal' with 'bosheth' (shame) to avoid the pagan divine name.
